John Updike: Novels 1968-1975 (loa #326)

Here for the first time in one volume are three of John Updike's most essential novels - Couples, Rabbit Redux, and A Month of Sundays - which together form an unforgettable triptych of the social turbulence that roiled America from the Kennedy to the Nixon years. Written with the grace, verve, and style, these books not only reveal Updike's genius in characterisation and his formal versatility as a novelist but also delve into the complexities of sex and marriage, social class and personal morality, and the difficult quandaries of the flesh and the spirit.
