I dread the day -and I know this day is coming soon - there are no more collections of Updike short stories for me to read. His shorts are my favorite leisure read and palate cleanser. Few writers manage to so effortlessly cram the highbrow and lowbrow together. It seems like Updike is remembered more for the lowbrow, unfortunately. Perhaps you need to be a man to fully appreciate or excuse his thematic obsessions, I don't know. But I will never get tired of these stories.

A collection of lovely and poignant stories that deal with living, aging, birth, and death.

Nuevamente, en una colección de cuentos es complicado que todos nos gusten por igual. En esta colección hay cuentos de 5 estrellas y otros de 3.
