Self-Consciousness
One of our finest novelists now gives us his
most dazzling creation -- his own life. In six eloquent and compelling
chapters, the author of The Witches of Eastwick and the wonderful Rabbit
trilogy gives us an incitingly honest look at the makings of an
American writer -- and of an American man.
Here is Updike on his
childhood, on ailments both horrible (psoriasis) and hilarious (his
experiences at the hands of a dentist), on his stuttering, on his
feelings during the Vietnam War, on his genealogy. and on that most
elusive of subjects, his innermost self. What emerges is a fascinating,
fully formed portrait -- candid, often very, funny, and always
illuminating.
