It's 1969, and the times are changing. America is about to land a man on the moon, the Vietnamese war is in full swing, and racial tension is on the rise. Things just aren't as simple as they used to be - at least not for Rabbit Angstrom.

His wife has left him with his teenage son, his job is under threat and his mother is dying. Suddenly, into his confused life - and home - comes Jill, an 18-year-old runaway who becomes his lover. But when she invites her friend to stay, a young black radical named Skeeter, the pair's fragile harmony soon begins to fail....

John Updike was born in 1932 in Shillington, Pennsylvania. He attended Shillington High School, Harvard College and the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art at Oxford, where he spent a year on a Knox Fellowship. From 1955 to 1957, he was a member of the staff of The New Yorker, to which he contributed numerous poems, short stories, essays and book reviews. After 1957 he lived in Massachusetts until his death.

John Updike's first novel, The Poorhouse Fair, was published in 1959. It was followed by Rabbit, Run, the first volume of what have become known as the Rabbit books.

Rabbit Is Rich (1981) and Rabbit at Rest (1990) were awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.

“A superb performance, all grace and dazzle...a brilliant portrait of middle America.” ( Life)

Updike skilfully makes a character sympathetic to you, despite in some ways being an unpleasant personality. You see the world through his eyes - all the compromises, all the self - deception. But his descriptive detail is precise; what he describes in one line would take other authors pages and pages of material.

Excellent Narration - thought provoking

I thought rabbit was the worst in the first book but some of the characters in this one challenge that. Excellent narration by William Hope.

Just as good as the first.

Updike could have done anything with a sequal. Where he chose to go was thought-provoking and amusing be equal measure. His powers of description are unparalleled.

An excellent follow-up

I would recommend that this is required listening for all aspiring audio book narrators. William Hope will show you how it's done.

I love Phillip Roths books and this in no way compares. Well performed but not at all enjoyable or funny and I think doesn't age well at all. I managed to just about get through Rabbit Run but this sequel was unbearable. I skimmed through the second half on high speed. The reader did his best so I don't blame him.

Hasn't aged well.
