Description
The winner of two Pulitzer Prizes and several other accolades for his dry, sulky novels chronicling the life of ex-basketball player "Rabbit" Angstrom, John Updike has become a legendary American author. He turns out the flaws in his characters and relationships, simultaneously affirming their worth. Rabbit Remembered is a novella sequel to the four John Updike Rabbit novels, all of which focus on their central character Harry Angstrom. In Rabbit Remembered, several old strands come at last together, and the dead Harry Angstrom's survivors fitfully entertain his memory while pursuing their own happiness. The time is the last months of 1999. Readers are offered the opportunity to revisit one of their all-time favorite fictional locales: Brewer, Pennsylvania, home of Harry's widow, his longtime lover, his son, and his son's wife. John Updike was born in 1932 in Pennsylvania and has published more than 30 novels plus works of poetry, short stories and essays. John Updike is only one of three Americans to win two Pulitzer Prizes (the others are Booth Tarkington and William Faulkner). He has won many other prestigious literary awards. RosettaBooks is proud to publish the complete Rabbit set Rabbit Run, Rabbit Redux, Rabbit is Rich (National Book Award, Pulitzer Prize), Rabbit at Rest (Pulitzer Prize) and Rabbit Remembered.
