The stunning sequel to Rabbit, Run that resumes the spiritual quest of the anxious Everyman, Harry “Rabbit” Angstrom.
“[Updike is] an awesomely accomplished writer. . . . For God’s sake, read the book. It may even—will probably—change your life.”—Anatole Broyard, The New York Times
“Amid the upheaval of the Trump years, [Rabbit Redux is] the postwar novel that strikes me as most prophetic.”—Ron Chernow for Time, “25 Books That Capture This American Moment”
Ten years have passed; the impulsive former athlete has become a paunchy thirty-six-year-old conservative, and Eisenhower’s becalmed America has become 1969’s lurid turmoil of technology, fantasy, drugs, and violence. Rabbit is abandoned by his family, his home invaded by a runaway and a radical, his past reduced to a ruined inner landscape; still he clings to semblances of decency and responsibility, and yearns to belong and to believe.
