“As wildly unfashionable as they are, I learned more from reading the Rabbit Angstrom novels of John Updike than anything else. They embody four decades of the United States in writing so glittering and precise that it manages to overcome the consistently offensive views of the main character.”↗
Cillian Murphy
“A quartet of Rabbit novels in one edition. For me, it is essential reading—as essential yet entirely different to Ford’s achievement. An extraordinary study and description of humanity and life in America between the ‘50s and the ‘90s.”↗
