SYNOPSIS
(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)
Collected together for the first time in hardcover, these eighteen classic stories from across John Updike’s career form a luminous chronicle of the life and times of one marriage in all its rich emotional complexity.
In 1956, Updike published a story, "Snowing in Greenwich Village," about a young couple, Joan and Richard Maple, at the beginning of their marriage. Over the next two decades, he returned to these characters again and again, tracing their years together raising children, finding moments of intermittent happiness, and facing the heartbreak of infidelity and estrangement. Seventeen Maples stories were collected in 1979 in a paperback edition titled Too Far to Go, prompted by a television adaptation. Now those stories appear in hardcover for the first time, with the addition of a later story, "Grandparenting," which returns us to the Maples’s lives long after their wrenching divorce.
From the Hardcover edition.

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.
