"IT WILL LEAVE YOU STUNNED AND BREATHLESS. . . . With grand
ambition, [Updike] not only tracks the fortunes and falls of an
American family through four generations and eight decades but also
creates a shimmering, celluloid portrait of the whole century as
viewed through the metaphor of the movies." --Miami Herald "AN
IMPORTANT AND IMPRESSIVE NOVEL: a novel that not only shows how we
live today, but also how we got there. . . . A book that forces us
to reassess the American Dream and the crucial role that faith (and
the longing for faith) has played in shaping the national soul."
--The New York Times "STIRRING AND CAPTIVATING AND BEAUTIFULLY
WRITTEN . . . [This] new novel displays a depth and a narrative
confidence that make one sigh with sweet anticipation. This is the
Updike of the Rabbit books, who can take you uphill and down with
his grace of vision, his gossamer language, and his merciful,
ironic glance at the misery of the human condition." --The Boston
Globe "AWESOME . . . Updike's genius, his place beside Hawthorne
and Nabokov have never been more assured, or chilling." --The New
Yorker "POWERFUL." --The Atlanta Journal Constitution
