Written a half century ago, John Updike's classic Rabbit, Run is an exasperating, infuriating read. Easy to imagine the titilation readers in the 60's found in its daring themes of marital, sexual, parental, religious and existential angst. The perils of the novel’s anti-hero, Harry Ansgtrom - the Rabbit in “mid-life” crisis at the tender age of 26 -only begin to suggest the writer’s genius. Updike’s graceful prose, acute observations and sly humor continue to unfold in the novel’s sequels - Rabbit Redux (in recovery), Rabbit is Rich (earning his lot selling Toyotas ) and finally Rabbit at Rest (troubled at heart, still looking for reasons to live.) Rabbit is Updike's running commentary on life in America - and what makes us run.
