Licks of Love: Short Stories and a Sequel, "Rabbit Remembered"
of John Updike
Series: Rabbit Angstrom #5
Description
In this brilliant late-career collection, John Updike revisits many of the locales of his early fiction: the small-town Pennsylvania of Olinger Stories, the sandstone farmhouse of Of the Farm, the exurban New England of Couples and Marry Me, and Henry Bechâs Manhattan of artistic ambition and taunting glamour. To a dozen short stories spanning the American Century, the author has added a novella-length coda to his quartet of novels about Harry âRabbitâ Angstrom. Several strands of the Rabbit saga come together here as, during the fall and winter holidays of 1999, Harryâs survivors fitfully entertain his memory while pursuing their own happiness up to the edge of a new millennium. Love makes Updikeâs fictional world go roundâmarried love, filial love, feathery licks of erotic love, and love for the domestic particulars of Middle American life.
