Author John Updike died on Tuesday in Massachusetts. He was 76. He was a prolific writer (50 books in 50 years) and a well-respected one. Updike won nearly every prize for literature that there is, including two Pulitzers.
I've never read his work, although it's not for lack of availability. I'm going to have to give his "Rabbit" series a try.

I saw that yesterday too. I had no idea he lived in MA just like me! I also have never read any of his work but it seems like I should have along the way. Thanks for visiting our blog!
ReplyDeletehey, we're practically neighbors! If you do read an Updike book, let's see a review!
ReplyDeleteJohn Updike's passing is sad, but he left a ton of awesome work. "Immortality is nontransferrable" he said appropriately.
