About the Book
The winner of two Pulitzer Prizes and several other accolades for his dry, sulky novels chronicling the life of ex-basketball player "Rabbit" Angstrom, John Updike has become a legendary American author. He turns out the flaws in his characters and relationships, simultaneously affirming their worth.
Rabbit is Rich is the third of five John Updike "Rabbit" novels, all of which focus on their central character Harry Angstrom. In Rabbit is Rich, Harry Angstrom has come to enjoy considerable prosperity as Chief Sales Representative of a Toyota agency in 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 last - until 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 Rabbit´s middle age, as he continues, in his erratic fashion, to pursue happiness.
John Updike was born in 1932 in Pennsylvania and has published more than 30 novels plus works of poetry, short stories and essays.
John Updike is only one of three Americans to win two Pulitzer Prizes (the others are Booth Tarkington and William Faulkner). He has won many other prestigious literary awards.
