Summary
Collection of stories, five of which were previously published in the New Yorker, which relate the adventures of an American writer as he tours Russia and other Communist-bloc nations
Amazon.com description: Product Description: In this classic novel by John Updike, we return to a character as compelling and timeless as Rabbit Angstrom: the inimitable Henry Bech. Famous for his writer's block, Bech is a Jew adrift in a world of Gentiles. As he roams from one adventure to the next, he views life with a blend of wonder and cynicism that will make you laugh with delight and wince in recognition.
