Résumé
This 4th collection of nonfictional prose is probably the richest yet. Over the years Updike has gallantly coped with many "odd jobs", and these are some of them. The opening section "Fairly personal" follows him to Finland, Boston and Pennsylvania,… while the central section "Mostly literary", pays tribute to older masters and fellow novelists. "Literally personal" contains an appendix of Updike's comments on his own works and endeavours. 1992.
