SYNOPSIS
The theme of trust, betrayed or fulfilled, runs through this collection of short stories: Parents lead children into peril, husbands abandon wives, wives manipulate husbands, and time undermines all. Love pangs, a favorite subject of the author, take on a new urgency as earthquakes, illnesses, lost wallets, and deaths of distant friends besiege his aging heroes and heroines. One man loves his wife’s twin, and several men love the imagined bliss of their pasts; one woman takes an impotent lover, and another must administer her father’s death. Bourgeois comforts and youthful convictions are tenderly seen as certain to erode: "Man," as one of these stories concludes, "was not meant to abide in paradise."

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.
