- Summary:
- The dozen short stories in Updike's new collection revisit many of the locales of his fiction: the small Pennsylvania town of Olinger, the lonely farm to which the hero moves as an adolescent, the exurban New England of adult camaraderie and sexual mischief, and the New York City of artistic ambition and taunting glamor. To these tales, the author adds "Rabbit Remembered", a novella-length sequel to his quartet of novels about Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom.
