Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A delightful, witty, passionate novel that follows its hero from the Depression era to the early twenty-first centuryfrom a master of American letters and the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of the acclaimed Rabbit series.John Updikes twenty-first novel, a bildungsroman, follows Owen Mackenzie from his birth in the semi-rural Pennsylvania town of Willow to his retirement in the rather geriatric community of Haskells Crossing, Massachusetts.In between these two settlements comes Middle Falls, Connecticut, where Owen, an early computer programmer, founds with a partner, Ed Mervine, the successful firm of E-O Data, which is housed in an old gun factory on the Chunkaunkabaug River. Owens education (Bildung) is not merely technical but liberal, as the humanity of his three villages, especially that of their female citizens, works to disengage him from his youthful innocence. As a child he early felt an abyss of calamity beneath the sunny surface quotidian, yet also had a dreamlike sense of leading a charmed existence.The women of his life, including his wives, Phyllis and Julia, shed what light they can. At one juncture he reflects, How lovely she is, naked in the dark! How little men deserve the beauty and mercy of women! His life as a sexual being merges with the communal shelter of villages: A village is woven of secrets, of truths better left unstated, of houses with less window than opaque wall.This delightful, witty, passionate novel runs from the Depression era to the early twenty-first century. This novel follows Owen Mackenzie, a computer programmer, from his boyhood in rural Pennsylvania to his final years in a New England geriatric community. Along the way, Mackenzie becomes entangled with numerous women, two of whom become his wives. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
