SYNOPSIS
To the hero of the title story of this collection, all of England has the glow of an afterlife: "A miraculous lacquer lay upon everything, beading each roadside twig . . . each reed of thatch, each tiny daisy trembling in the grass." All of these stories, each in its own way, partake of this glow, as life beyond middle age is explored and found to have its own exquisite dearness. As death approaches, existence takes on, for some of Updike’s aging characters, a translucence, a magical fragility; vivid memory and casual misperception lend the mundane an antic texture, and the backward view, lengthening, acquires a certain grandeur. Here is a world where wonder stubbornly persists, and fresh beginnings almost outnumber losses.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
John Updike
John Updike nasceu em 1932 em Shillington, na Pensilvânia.
Licenciou-se na Universidade de Harvard em 1954. Trabalhou no The New Yorker nos anos 50, onde publicou poemas, contos, ensaios e recensões. Updike viveu em New England, cenário da maior parte
dos seus livros, e em Massachusetts, onde faleceu a 27 de Janeiro de 2009, vitima de um cancro pulmonar. Teve quatro
filhos.
Foi autor de uma obra extensa, que abrange romances, colectâneas
de poesia, contos, ensaios e até mesmo crítica literária sobre
alguns dos melhores escritores contemporâneos.
Updike observou o quotidiano que o rodeava e frequentemente levava o
leitor a reconhecer e a questionar ideias preconcebidas. Desde o
início da sua carreira que as questões existenciais estiveram no
âmago da sua obra.
