Description: Unread copy. John Updikes sixth collection of essays and literary criticism opens with a skeptical overview of literary biographies, proceeds to five essays on topics ranging from China and small change to faith and late works, and takes up, under the heading General Considerations, books, poker, cars, and the American libido. The last, informal section of Due Considerations assembles more or less autobiographical piecesreminiscences, friendly forewords, comments on the authors own recent works, responses to probing questions. In between, many books are considered, some in introductionsto such classics as Walden, The Portrait of a Lady, and The Mabinogionand many more in reviews, usually for The New Yorker. Ralph Waldo Emerson and the five Biblical books of Moses come in for appraisal, along with Uncle Toms Cabin and The Wizard of Oz. Contemporary American and English writersColson Whitehead, E. L. Doctorow, Don DeLillo, Norman Rush, William Trevor, A. S. Byatt, Muriel Spark, Ian McEwanreceive attentive and appreciative reviews, as do Rohinton Mistry, Salman Rushdie, Peter Carey, Margaret Atwood, Gabriel García Márquez, Haruki Murakami, Günter Grass, and Orhan Pamuk. In factual waters, Mr. Updike ponders the sinking of the Lusitania and the unsinkable career of Coco Chanel, the adventures of Lord Byron and Iris Murdoch, the sexual revolution and the advent of female Biblical scholars, and biographies of Robert Frost, Sinclair Lewis, Marcel Proust, and Søren Kierkegaard.

[jacket copy] "Updike's scope is rather breathtaking. When I do not know the subject well--as in his finely illustrated art reviews of Bruegel, Dürer and Goya--I learn much from what Updike has to impart. When he considers an author I love, like Proust or Czeslaw Milosz, I often find myself appreciating familiar things in a new way."--Christopher Hitchens, The New York Times Book Review. "Updike knows more about literature than almost anyone. He's beyond knowledgeable--he makes Google look wanting."--Baltimore Sun. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners (mostly) & crisp deckle edges, a Fine intact jacket, a beautiful (as usual) Knopf production, quite presentable.

Description: First edition. Fine in a fine dustwrapper. Inscribed by the author: "for Herb Yellin, keep the faith and be of good cheer. All best, John Updike." Herb Yellin was the founder and publisher of Lord John Press and the most frequent of Updike's fine press collaborators. He named his press after noting that the list of authors he wanted to publish all shared the same first name, chief among them John Updike, his favorite. *Hub Fans Bid Kid Adieu* became the press's first book in 1977 with 10 more to follow over the next 23 years. Yellin's friendship with Updike grew with each new limited edition benefitting his already enormous Updike collection, with Updike himself contributing copies of new editions of his books - often inscribed. In a 2010 interview with Yellin he noted that Updike ".liked that if anything ever happened to his own collection, he had my collection on the opposite side of the country." A notable association.

Description: First edition of Updike's sixth collection of essays and literary criticism. Octavo, original cloth, illustrated. Association copy, warmly inscribed by the author on the title page, "For Erica Jong who is in the index with my warm regards, John." The recipient, Erica Jong remains best known for her 1973 novel Fear of Flying which became famously controversial for its portrayal of female sexuality and figured prominently in the development of second-wave feminism. Written in the first person and narrated by its protagonist, 29-year-old American poet Isadora Wing, Fear of Flying was written in the throes of the Sexual Revolution of the 1970s and encapsulated the movementâs redefinition of female sexuality. In interviews, Jong stated: âAt the time I wrote Fear of Flying, there was not a book that said women are romantic, women are intellectual, women are sexualâ"and brought all those things together⦠What [Isadora is] looking for is how to be a whole human being, a body and a mind, and that is what women were newly aware they needed in 1973.â The novel remains a feminist classic and has sold more than 20 million copies worldwide. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Carol Devine Carson. John Updike's sixth collection of essays and literary criticism opens with a skeptical overview of literary biographies, proceeds to five essays on topics ranging from China and small change to faith and late works, and takes up, under the heading "General Considerations," books, poker, cars, and the American libido.
