Sull'Autore

American novelist, poet, and critic John Updike was born in Reading, Pennsylvania on March 18, 1932. He received an A.B. degree from Harvard University, which he attended on a scholarship, in 1954. After graduation, he accepted a one-year fellowship to study painting at the Ruskin School of Drawing mostra altro and Fine Art in Oxford, England. After returning from England in 1955, he worked for two years on the staff of The New Yorker. This marked the beginning of a long relationship with the magazine, during which he has contributed numerous short stories, poems, and book reviews. Although Updike's first published book was a collection of verse, The Carpentered Hen and Other Tame Creatures (1958), his renown as a writer is based on his fiction, beginning with The Poorhouse Fair (1959). During his lifetime, he wrote more than 50 books and primarily focused on middle-class America and their major concerns---marriage, divorce, religion, materialism, and sex. Among his best-known works are the Rabbit tetrology---Rabbit, Run (1960), Rabbit Redux (1971), Rabbit Is Rich (1981), and Rabbit at Rest (1988). Rabbit, Run introduces Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom as a 26-year-old salesman of dime-store gadgets trapped in an unhappy marriage in a dismal Pennsylvania town, looking back wistfully on his days as a high school basketball star. Rabbit Redux takes up the story 10 years later, and Rabbit's relationship with representative figures of the 1960s enables Updike to provide social commentary in a story marked by mellow wisdom and compassion in spite of some shocking jolts. In Rabbit Is Rich, Harry is comfortably middle-aged and complacent, and much of the book seems to satirize the country-club set and the swinging sexual/social life of Rabbit and his friends. Finally, in Rabbit at Rest, Harry arrives at the age where he must confront his mortality. Updike won the Pulitzer Prize for both Rabbit Is Rich and Rabbit at Rest. Updike's other novels range widely in subject and locale, from The Poorhouse Fair, about a home for the aged that seems to be a microcosm for society as a whole, through The Court (1978), about a revolution in Africa, to The Witches of Eastwick (1984), in which Updike tries to write from inside the sensibilities of three witches in contemporary New England. The Centaur (1963) is a subtle, complicated allegorical novel that won Updike the National Book Award in 1964. In addition to his novels, Updike also has written short stories, poems, critical essays, and reviews. Self-Consciousness (1989) is a memoir of his early life, his thoughts on issues such as the Vietnam War, and his attitude toward religion. He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1977. He died of lung cancer on January 27, 2009 at the age of 76. (Bowker Author Biography) John Updike was born in 1932, in Shillington, Pennsylvania. Since 1957 he has lived in Massachusetts. His novels have won the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, the National Book Critics Circle Award, & the Howells Medal. (Publisher Provided) John Updike was born in 1932 and attended Harvard College and the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art in Oxford, England.

Updike's art criticism has appeared in publications including Arts and Antiques, The New Republic, The New York Times Book Review, and Realites, among many others. He is the author of such best-selling novels as Rabbit Run and Rabbit is Rich. His many works of fiction, poetry and criticism have been awarded the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, the American Book Award, and the National Book Critics Circle Award. For the past 40 years he has lived in Massachusetts. (Publisher Provided) John Updike is the author of some 50 books, including collections of short stories, poems, & criticism.

Harry "Coniglio" Angstrom, ex campione di basket del liceo, abbandona la moglie e il figlio piccolo spinto da un impulso improvviso. Harry ha ventisei anni, è immaturo ed egoista, un adulto bambino incapace di prendersi le sue responsabilità. Ma, nella sua erratica fuga da una vita mediocre, lo guida un profondo desiderio di libertà. E la sensazione, radicata e perturbante come una fede, di essere nel giusto, che qualcosa di piú grande vigili su di lui, destinandolo alla salvezza. E sono questo desiderio e questa certezza a farcelo sentire simile come un fratello e a fare di lui un simbolo dell'America. Torna, in una nuova versione, il capolavoro che ha rivelato John Updike come uno dei piú importanti scrittori del XX secolo… (altro)

“Andare da Nathan Zuckerman a Coniglio Angstrom significa, letteralmente, percorrere dall’A alla Z la storia dell’America negli anni del secondo dopoguerra”. Così si legge nella recente biografa di Philip Roth e questo è stato per me un invito ad avvicinare Updike, incoraggiata anche dalla recente ripubblicazione di questo romanzo con prefazione di Julian Barnes. L’impatto è stato però deludente per non dire sgradevole.
Il fatto che il protagonista e la sua famiglia mi suscitino cordiale antipatia non vorrebbe di per sé dire nulla, come è ovvio. E’ la scrittura che mi annoia e perché la trovo inutilmente minuziosa e non avvincente. Ho interrotto la lettura dopo un centinaio di pagine. Mi pare chiaro che il Franzen di 'Correzioni' si è ispirato ad Updike o, almeno, ne è stato fortemente influenzato, ma, come talvolta avviene, l’allievo risulta migliore del maestro. Comunque di famiglie americane (repubblicane) ne ho abbastanza, dopo il buon Franzen, dopo la detestabile 'Famiglia americana' dell’insopportabile (e presuntuosa) Joyce Carol Oates e dopo questo fallito tentativo di avvicinamento a John Updike.… (altro)

Attenzione a chi ha visto il film nelle edizioni normalmente circolanti (pare che ce ne siano di meno edulcorate) e volesse ritrovarne l'atmosfera brillante: il libro è amaro e sbilenco, prezioso per l'approfondimento psicologico di donne né giovani né buone; sono eccellenti le descrizioni del paesaggio e di una provincia americana che molti ci hanno raccontato ma pochi (tra i quali metto in testa S.King) ci hanno fatto vivere.
Bello.

"La vecchiaia è una brutta bestia."

Ho trascinato stancamente questo libro per mesi. Continuavo a ripetermi che non mi piaceva, che era lento, noioso e ripetitivo... e che poi in fondo io ero ancora giovane!
Già, perchè era proprio questo il problema: riconoscere nei meccanismi mentali che muovevano i personaggi gli stessi meccanismi che sentivo pian piano innescarsi nella mia mente.
Non è facile accettare il tempo che passa, e tutto va bene finchè non te ne accorgi, semplicemente non ci pensi!
Ma quando doloretti che prima non c'erano si fanno sentire sempre più frequenti, quando la sera sei così stanca che non riesci più a tirar tardi a leggere perchè crolli sul cuscino con il libro aperto tra le mani dopo poche righe, quando parti in quarta per far le cose e ti areni dopo dieci minuti, ma soprattutto quando ti accorgi che sempre più spesso ti ritrovi a guardarti indietro con nostalgia verso un passato che ora ti sembra sempre più lontano, allora si, cominci a pensarci, ed il futuro nel quale riponevi tante speranze ti appare sempre più come una cosa che non ti appartiene, perchè improvvisamente ti rendi conto che non avrai il tempo di fare tutte le cose che hai sempre desiderato fare e che, per un motivo o per l'altro, hai sempre rimandato.
La vita comincia a sfuggirti piano piano dalle mani ed hai senpre più la sensazione di non averla vissuta e non lo accetti, e ti aggrappi istintivamente a tutto quello che in qualche modo ti "convince" di essere ancora giovane, di avere ancora tempo, di poter ancora vivere a pieno la tua vita.
E non è facile, credetemi, ammettere che ti piaccia un libro che invece ti dice apertamente in faccia: - Guarda che stai invecchiando anche tu!-
