anthologies,anthologies and literary collections,contemporary,general,literary,literature and fiction,short stories, The Early Stories: 1953-1975, He is a religious writer; he is a comic realist; he knows what everything feels like, how everything works. He is putting together a body of work which in substantial intelligent creation will eventually be seen as second to none in our time."-William H. Pritchard, The Hudson Review, reviewing Museums and Women (1972)A harvest and not a winnowing, The Early Stories preserves almost all of the short fiction John Updike published between 1954 and 1975. The stories are arranged in eight sections, of which the first, "Olinger Stories," already appeared as a paperback in 1964; in its introduction, Updike described Olinger, Pennsylvania, as "a square mile of middle-class homes physically distinguished by a bend in the central avenue that compels some side streets to deviate from the grid pattern." These eleven tales, whose heroes age from ten to over thirty but remain at heart Olinger boys, are followed by groupings titled "Out in the World," "Married Life," and "Family Life," tracing a common American trajectory. Family life is disrupted by the advent of "The Two Iseults," a bifurcation originating in another small town, Tarbox, Massachusetts, where the Puritan heritage co-exists with post-Christian morals. "Tarbox Tales" are followed by "Far Out," a group of more or less experimental fictions on the edge of domestic space, and "The Single Life," whose protagonists are unmarried and unmoored.Of these one hundred three stories, eighty firs.

In his delightfully candid introduction, John Updike gives us a glimpse of his early days as a writer, sending out his first short stories to THE NEW YORKER. He also explains his rationale for arranging this collection thematically, reflecting phases of life--from Olinger Stories through Married Life to Single Life. These extraordinarily evocative stories evoke the generation born in small town America during the Depression and growing up in a world where the old sexual morality was turned around... In his delightfully candid introduction, John Updike gives us a glimpse of his early days as a writer, sending out his first short stories to THE NEW YORKER. He also explains his rationale for arranging this collection thematically, reflecting phases of life--from Olinger Stories through Married Life to Single Life. These extraordinarily evocative stories evoke the generation born in small town America during the Depression and growing up in a world where the old sexual morality was turned around and material comforts were easily had. Yet, as these stories reflect so acutely, the upheavals were unsettling, and Updike chronicles all the telling moments of the joys and the pain. In describing how he wrote these stories in a small rented, smoke-filled office In Ispwich, MA, he says: "I felt I was packaging something as delicately pervasive as smoke, one box after another, in that room, where my only social duty was to tell the truth, that is, to describe mundane things so closely as to reveal their beauty." A magnificent book that will be a treasure for Updike fans and a wonderful introduction for those just discovering his work.Taal: Engels;Afmetingen: 58x242x165 mm;Gewicht: 1,26 kg;Verschijningsdatum: januari 2004;ISBN10: 0241142644;ISBN13: 9780241142646; Engelstalig | Hardcover | 2004.
