Harry Rabbit Angstrom is back — older, slower, and more bewildered than ever — as John Updike's masterful sequel plunges him into the seething heart of 1969 America, a nation convulsed by the Vietnam War, the Moon landing, and the tremors of social revolution. Ten years after Rabbit, Run, Harry finds himself abandoned by his wife, living with his teenage son in suburban Pennsylvania, and drawing into his home a cast of unlikely strangers whose radical ideologies and reckless freedoms collide catastrophically with his own stolid passivity. Updike writes with the precision of a surgeon and the lyricism of a poet, chronicling the disintegration of middle-class white America through a single man's stunned, uncomprehending gaze. Rabbit Redux is a savage and deeply empathetic portrait of a country at war with itself, rendered in prose so vivid and exact it burns — a novel that demands to be read by anyone who wishes to understand what America was, and perhaps what it remains.
