Sinossi
Dalla sua nascita nel 1923 alla sua tardiva paternità e all'apoteosi pubblica come un vivace settantenne nel 1999, bech lavora duro, girando il mondo in compagnia di dignitari stranieri un giorno e trascinandosi in tweed laceri nel circuito delle lezioni universitarie il giorno dopo. A turno cinico e ingenuo, ironico e zio, e sempre amoroso, è la creatura più accattivante di updike: un dongiovanni, un brontolone e un'affascinante icona letteraria, tutto in uno. Un forum perfetto per la prosa agile di updike, the complete henry bech è un ritratto arcigno della vita letteraria in america da parte di uno scrittore americano incomparabile. Da quando i racconti delle sue gesta hanno cominciato ad apparire sul new yorker più di trent'anni fa, henry bech, l'alter ego giocosamente irriverente di john updike, ha affascinato i lettori con la sua indecisione estetica e la sua libido apparentemente inesauribile.

Informazioni sull?autore
From Harvard to a staff position on The New Yorker, John Updike turned his brainy pedigree into a successful career as a novelist, essayist and critic. His novels Rabbit, Run (1960), Couples (1978) and Pulitzer winner Rabbit is Rich (1981) exemplify his sophisticated take on contemporary middle-class tragedy. Prolific as all get-out, Updike has also written numerous short stories and poems, and in 1997 he engineered a group-written mystery story on the Internet.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The Bech stories-collected in one volume for the first time, and featuring a final, series-capping story, "His Oeuvre"-cast an affectionate eye on the famously unproductive Jewish-American writer, offering up a stream of wit, whimsy, and lyric pungency unmatched in American letters."One of Updike's best creations." -LifeFrom his birth in 1923 to his belated paternity and public apotheosis as a spry septuagenarian in 1999, Bech plugs away, globetrotting in the company of foreign dignitaries one day and schlepping in tattered tweeds on the college lecture circuit the next. By turns cynical and naive, wry and avuncular, and always amorous, he is Updike's most endearing confection-a Lothario, a curmudgeon, and a winsome literary icon all in one. A perfect forum for Updike's limber prose, The Complete Henry Bech is an arch portrait of the literary life in America from an incomparable American writer.Since tales of his exploits began appearing in The New Yorker more than thirty years ago, Henry Bech, John Updike's playfully irreverent alter-ego, has charmed readers with his aesthetic dithering and his seemingly inexhaustible libido.
