Recensione:
“Classic gems . . . These stories, like Mr. Updike’s finest novels . . . preserve a time and a place through the sorcery of words.”—The New York Times
“[Updike is] akin to Coleridge and Shelley, only with an American twist. One story at a time, he [reminds] Americans that in spite of life’s largesse, things fail; one sentence at a time, he reveals that through the small details, it can be sublime.”—The Denver Post
“Updike’s artistry—normally glimpsed in sections, like a person through window slats—is wholly and deeply seen. . . . One reads through the plenitude with delight, expectation, and at all times gratitude.”—The Atlantic Monthly

The stories are arranged in 8 sections, of which the first, "Olinger Stories," already appeared as a paperback in 1964; in its introduction, Updike described Olinger, Pennsylvania, as "a square mile of middle-class homes physically distinguished by a bend in the central avenue that compels some side streets to deviate from the grid pattern." These 11 tales, whose heroes age from 10 to over 30 but remain at heart Olinger boys, are followed by groupings titled "Out in the World," "Married Life," & "Family Life," tracing a common American trajectory. Family life is disrupted by the advent of "The Two Iseults," a bifurcation originating in another small town, Tarbox, Massachusetts, where the Puritan heritage co-exists w/ post-Christian morals. "Tarbox Tales" are followed by "Far Out," a group of more or less experimental fictions on the edge of domestic space, & "The Single Life," whose protagonists are unmarried & unmoored. Of these 103 stories, 80 first appeared in The New Yorker, & the other 23 in journals from the enduring Atlantic Monthly and Harper's to the defunct Big Table and Transatlantic Review. All show Mr. Updike's wit & verbal felicity, his reverence for ordinary life, & his love of the transient world. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "He is a religious writer; he is a comic realist; he knows what everything feels like, how everything works. He is putting together a body of work which in substantial intelligent creation will eventually be seen as second to none in our time." - William H. Pritchard, The Hudson Review, reviewing "Museums and Women" (1972) * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: John Updike was born in 1932, in Shillington, Pennsylvania. He graduated from Harvard College in 1954, & spent a year in Oxford, England, at the Ruskin School of Drawing & Fine Art.
