Description: First trade edition. Fine in a fine dustwrapper. Inscribed by the author to Herb Yellin. 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.

Price: US$175.00 + shipping
Condition: As New
Description: John Updike died on January 27, 2009 at the age of 76. He leaves behind an extraordinary career and a large oevre. S is the author's 13th novel and was hailed as one of the greatest American novels of the 20th century. First edition, first printing, in pristine, unread condition . Written in the epistolary mode, a now-lost form as far as the novel is concerned, "S" is John Updike's brilliant re-telling of "The Scarlet Letter", from Hester's and all other proto-feminist heroines' point-of-view. As such, it anticipates "Gertrude and Claudius", his more direct re-telling of "Hamlet", from the eponymous and profoundly vulnerable characters' points-of-view. "S" follows a middle-aged doctor's wife named Sarah Worth as she leaves her stifling security for life on a desert commune with a Bhagwan-like religious leader named Arhat. Through letters back home, Sarah tells of her growing importance in the commune and her growing self-consciousness. Sex and Religion: In many ways (and with the exception of a figure like Philip Roth), Updike captured these closely intertwined American obsessions more truthfully and candidly than any other writer of his generation.
