   Which Updike book is the brightest?

   • Replete, lyrical, full of big themes, and yet gossipy and sexy as well, this is the brightest of all his books, I think, and the ur-text of his later adultery novels. Rabbit Redux (1971). It’s remarkable to look back at the high sixties, as John Barth called them, and see how few of Updike’s contemporaries were truly taking the pulse of the times.

   Which Updike books will be rediscovered?

   • (Tie) In the Beauty of the Lilies (1996) and The Centaur (1963). In the Beauty of the Lilies is an overlooked Updike book that I predict will be “rediscovered” once readers decide not to reread, say, Rabbit, Run.
