SYNOPSIS
"The Maples stories trace the decline and fall of a marriage," writes the author in his Foreword, a marriage that is threatened early on by the temptations of infidelity ("Snowing in Greenwich Village") and that ends in a midlife divorce ("Here Come the Maples"). "They also illumine a history in many ways happy, of growing children and a million mundane moments shared." That all blessings are mixed and fleeting does not make them less real, and if temporality is held to be invalidating, then nothing real succeeds. "A tribe segregated in a valley develops an accent, then a dialect, and then a language all its own; so does a couple. Let this collection preserve one particular dead tongue, no easier to parse than Latin."

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
John Updike
John Updike was born in 1932 in Shillington, Pennsylvania.
He graduated from Harvard University in 1954. He worked at The New Yorker in the 1950s, where he published poems, short stories, essays, and reviews. Updike lived in New England, the setting for most of his books, and in Massachusetts, where he died on January 27, 2009, from lung cancer. He had four children.
He was the author of an extensive body of work, encompassing novels, poetry collections, short stories, essays, and even literary criticism on some of the best contemporary writers.
Updike observed the everyday life around him and frequently led the reader to recognize and question preconceived ideas. From the beginning of his career, existential questions were at the heart of his work.
