Updike / Adam Begley - First Edition. - New York : HaperCollins Publishers , 2014 - 558 p. ; 24 cm
Updike is Adam Begley's much-anticipated biography of one of the most celebrated figures in American literature: Pulitzer Prize - winning author John Updike -- a candid, intimate, and richly detailed look at his life and work. In this magisterial biography, Adam Begley offers an illuminating portrait of John Updike, the acclaimed novelist, poet, short-story writer, and critic who saw himself as a literary spy in small - town and suburban America, who dedicated himself to the task of transcribing "middleness with all its grits, bumps and anonymities." Drawing from in-depth research as well as interviews with the writer's colleagues, friends, and family, Begley explores how Updike's fiction was shaped by his tumultuous personal life -- including his enduring religious faith, his two marriages, and his first-hand experience of the "adulterous society" he was credited with exposing in the bestselling Couples.
