Summary
A critically acclaimed New York Times best-seller introduces Henry Bech, a Jewish author more famous for his writer's block than his work, drifting from one adventure to the next with an infectious wit and sense of wonder. Reprint. NYT.
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.
