The beauty of the lilies (1996) opens in 1910, when Clarence Wilmot, a Presbyterian minister in Paterson, NJ, experiences a devastating loss of faith. This moment of crisis sets in motion an eighty-year, multigenerational saga whose subject is nothing less than the American Century and modernity itself, seen through the fluctuating fortunes of a single representative family. In Gertrude and Claudius, Updike boldly imagines the long backstory to the world's most famous play, prompting readers to revisit and perhaps revise their judgments about Hamlet's notorious uncle and mother. Drawing on the twelfth- and fifteenth century sources for Hamlet, but also inventing a new history for Claudius in his far-flung travels across medieval Europe, Updike creates a vivid and surprising origin story for the fabled rottenness in Shakespeare's Denmark. The novella Rabbit remembered (2000) is a poignant final curtain call for one of the greatest characters in twentieth-century American literature. Once again the setting is Brewer, Pennsylvania, but now Harry Angstrom's family are figuring out their lives in his absence. Harry's ghost is insistently present, and the stories shared by his children suggest that the reckoning with those closest to us, for better and for worse, never really ends. This deluxe edition includes six rare pieces by Updike reflecting on the novels collected here." -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Families $x Religious life $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Clergy $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Cults $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Denmark $x History $y 1241-1397 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Kings and rulers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Queens $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Middle class men $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Clergy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00864014 650 7 $a Cults. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00884980 650 7 $a Families $x Religious life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01728934 650 7 $a Kings and rulers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00987694 650 7 $a Middle class men. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01020478 650 7 $a Queens. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01085637 651 7 $a Denmark. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204558 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1241-1397 $2 fast 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726589 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 700 12 $i Container of (work): $a Updike, John. $t In the beauty of the lilies. 700 12 $i Container of (work): $a Updike, John. $t Gertrude and Claudius. 700 12 $i Container of (work): $a Updike, John. $t Rabbit remembered. 700 1 $a Carduff, Christopher, $e editor. 830 0 $a Library of America ; $v 365. 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117025956.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230907012231.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20230630011111.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=784C4836170B11EEA3C6068B3DECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
