It's 1959 and Harry 'Rabbit' Angstrom, one time high school sports superstar, is going nowhere. At twenty-six he is trapped in a second-rate existence - stuck with a fragile, alcoholic wife, a house full of overflowing ashtrays and discarded glasses, a young son and a futile job. With no way to fix things, he resolves to flee from his family and his home in Pennsylvania, beginning a thousand-mile journey that he hopes will free him from his mediocre life. Because, as he knows only too well, 'after you've been first-rate at something, no matter what, it kind of takes the kick out of being second-rate'.

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.
