   In the Fifties, this prosperity gave way, for the first time, to a distinct youth culture of rebellion and disregard for authority, documented in films (Rebel Without a Cause, 1955) and books (The Catcher in the Rye, 1951) that likely influenced Updike's "A&P," a story about conformity and questioning authority. Despite the prosperity of the postwar era, however, a significant minority of ...

   The main characters of "A & P" and "Pigeon Feathers" take real action to try to find their identities-- Sammy quits his job, and David Kern slaughters pigeons in the barn. In contrast, Richard Maple and Fogel watch in dismay as their lives slide by. These stories touch upon many of Updike's enduring themes - God, sex and small-town America.

Sammy has grown up, presumably comfortable, in the 1940s and 1950s under the cultural norms of a conventional sea-side town above Boston. At nineteen, he is experiencing his first tastes of independence and independent thinking.

   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.
