Overview

Muchos conocen ya a Harry «Conejo» Angstrom, el entrañable personaje creado por John Updike, un hombre dividido entre la libertad y la responsabilidad, el deseo de independencia y un anticuado sentido del deber, entre apremios sexuales y vagas especulaciones espirituales. En esta cuarta novela de la tetralogía protagonizada por Conejo, éste, a sus 55 años, sólo se dedica a jugar al golf y a ver la televisión; desde el infarto, le embarga una irremediable fatiga. Janice, la esposa desvalida, es ahora toda una mujer de negocios. Nelson, el hijo, estafa y roba a sus padres para mantener su adicción a la cocaína. Conejo vive en el temor constante, obsesivo, de la muerte que, en efecto, parece rodearle por todas partes. Y ahora sólo le quedan un pasado nostálgico, sombrías especulaciones sobre el futuro, y ser testigo pasivo y risible de hechos que ya no controla.

"A&P," one of his classic stories took aim at suburban life, as did many of his longer books. Rabbit Is Rich (1982) and Rabbit at Rest (1990) both won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. Updike dominated the literary scene for decades, writing not just fiction but also essays, poems, book reviews, and art criticism.
