195 pp. "The renowned Henry Bech is now fifty years old. In this wonderful classic novel, Bech reflects on his fame, travels the world, marries an Episcopalian divorcée from Westch ester, and--surprise to all--writes a book that becomes a runaway bestseller. If you've never read Updike before, there's no better place to start. If you've read him for years, you'll be delightfully reminded of John Updike's rightful place in the pantheon of quintessential American writers." CONTENTS: Three illuminations in the life of an American author -- Bech third-worlds it -- Australia and Canada -- The Holy Land -- Macbech -- Bech wed -- White on white. Show more
