In The Coup, a surprising departure from his prior novels, Updike stages a withering take down of an array of targets, from American materialism and its baleful effects on the developing world to the follies of Cold War geopolitics and the fevered megalomania of the dictatorial mind. In Rabbit Is Rich, the third installment of the Rabbit tetralogy, we meet up with Harry Angstrom, now 46, dealing as best he can with the challenges and cares of midlife, a time when "you are carrying the world in a sense and yet it seems more out of control than ever." In The Witches of Eastwick, Updike imagines a small New England town possessed by magic--at least as practiced by the female trio at its center who, freed from the burdens of their marriages, make common cause and unleash their whimsical witchcraft on Eastwick's narrow-minded townspeople. 650 0 $a Angstrom, Harry (Fictitious character) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Witches $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Middle class men $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Devil $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Exiles $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Africa $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Rhode Island $v Fiction. 650 0 $a American fiction $y 20th century. 700 1 $a Carduff, Christopher, $e editor. 700 1 $i Contains work: $a Updike, John. $t Coup. 700 1 $i Contains work: $a Updike, John. $t Rabbit is rich. 700 1 $i Contains work: $a Updike, John. $t Witches of Eastwick. 830 0 $a Library of America ; $v 339. 941 $a 4 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117024222.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010022317.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20211019011238.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210903014111.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=56F51BD60C7C11EC8E70AEE442ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
