John Updike Set
Made to Order at Juniper Custom in Boulder, Colorado
For more than half a century, John Updike chronicled American life with a precision and grace that won the admiration of critics and readers alike. This set gathers four hardcover volumes of his fiction, among them the Pulitzer Prize-winning Rabbit Angstrom novels, in custom jackets bearing a contemplative photograph of Updike by the sea: a portrait of the writer who captured our inner lives in such beautiful prose. It is a set for the lover of the great American novel, and for the reader who finds a whole world in a short story.

FAQs
Who is Rabbit Angstrom?
Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, a former high-school basketball star whose life Updike followed across four decades of American history. Rabbit Is Rich and Rabbit at Rest each won the Pulitzer Prize.
Who is Henry Bech?
Updike's wry, self-mocking portrait of a celebrated but blocked writer, a comic counterpoint to the Rabbit novels.
Why include the stories?
Updike was among the great American short-story writers, and the two Library of America volumes gather the best of a lifetime's work in the form.
