PULITZER PRIZE WINNER โข The middle-aged hero of Rabbit, Run, returnsโfrom one of the most gifted American writers of the twentieth century.
The hero of John Updikeโsย Rabbit, Run, ten years after the hectic events described inย Rabbit Redux, has come to enjoy considerable prosperity as Chief Sales Representative of Springer Motors, a Toyota agency in Brewer, Pennsylvania. The time is 1979: Skylab is falling, gas lines are lengthening, the President collapses while running in a marathon, and double-digit inflation coincides with a deflation of national confidence. Nevertheless, Harry Angstrom feels in good shape, ready to enjoy life at lastโuntil his son, Nelson, returns from the West, and the image of an old love pays a visit to his lot. New characters and old populate these scenes from Rabbitโs middle age, as he continues to pursue, in his erratic fashion, the rainbow of happiness.
