"Rabbit Redux" and the 2012 elections

Post by Jack of All Parades »

Excellent essay from today's Sunday NY TImes book review by Sam Tanenhaus, the editor:

One of my favorite Updike novels and characters- love how Updike had forgotten that he had Rabbit vote for 'W' in his final Rabbit book as recalled during a visit to the Times's office in 2008. It gives a strong new way to read the Rabbit novels- prescient.
