John Updike

See article here.

I’ve never actually read a book by John Updike, but I’ve read his essays.  He was a great essayist and reader.  Just a few months ago, I read the Best American Short Stories of the Century, for which he was a co-editor (and also a short story writer).   

Rest in Peace.

    But you read A&P right? That was one of the most visual stories I ever read, i.e. while I read it, I clearly pictured the scenes in my head.
