The Complete Henry Bech de John Updike

The Complete Henry Bech: Everyman's Library CLASSICS

Autor John Updike
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 sep 2006
From his birth in 1923 to his belated paternity and public apotheosis as a 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. This book presents a portrait of literary life in America from an incomparable American writer.

Recenzii

"A deft poke at what it means to be a writer in America. " New York Times "In his extraordinarily productive career, John Updike has given us a multitude of memorable characters, but none more lovable than the high-minded, mild-mannered, rather hapless writer Henry Bech." Chicago Tribune "As imaginative territory, literary Manhattan has proved irresistible to Updike the satirist, and he has done it full justice and then some in his volumes of stories concerning the doings of New York novelist Henry Bech." The New Criterion "A mordantly comic look at literary life. " Time
