Book Price $0 : John Updikeâ??s First Collection Of Nonfiction Pieces, Published In 1965 When The Author Was Thirty-three, Is A Diverting And Illuminating Gambol Through Midcentury America And The Writerâ??s Youth. It Opens With A Choice Selection Of Parodies, Casuals, And â??Talk Of The Townâ? Reports, The Fruits Of Updikeâ??s Boyish Ambition To Follow In The Footsteps Of Thurber And White. These Jeux Dâ??esprit Are Followed By â??Hub Fans Bid Kid Adieu,â? An Immortal Account Of Ted Williamsâ??s Last At-bat In Fenway Park; â??The Dogwood Tree,â? A Wordsworthian Evocation Of One Pennsylvania Childhood; And Five Autobiographical Essays And Stories. Rounding Out The Volume Are Classic Considerations Of Nabokov, Salinger, Spark, Beckett, And Others, The Earliest Efforts Of The Book Reviewer Who Would Go On To Become, In The New York Timesâ??s Estimation, â??the Pre-eminent Critic Of His Generation.â? Updike Called This Collection â??motley But Not Unshapely.â? Some Would Call It A Classic Of Its Kind.
