SYNOPSIS
In this midcareer collection of twenty-three short stories, John Updike tackles such problems as separation, divorce, and remarriage, parents and children, guns and prostitution, leprosy, swooning, suffocation, and guilt. His self-seeking heroes tend to be forty; his heroines are asleep, seductive, longing, or reproachful. None of these characters is innocent, and all are looking vainly for the road back to an imagined Paradise. Pain and comedy closely coexist in this mainly domestic world of the 1970s, where life is indistinguishable from a television commercial (but what is it advertising?) and every morning’s paper brings news of lost Atlantises.

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.
