Hardcover. Condición: As New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Book is AS NEW in a near fine clipped dust jacket. All 22 of the stories in this collection, John Updike's eleventh, and his first in seven years (1994) in various ways partake of this glow, as life beyond middle age is explored and found to have its own particular wonders, from omniscient golf caddies to prescient sexual rumors, from the death of mothers and brothers in law to the births of grandchildren. As death approaches, life takes on, for some of these aging heroes , a translucence, a magical fragility; vivid memory and casual misperception lend the mundane an antic texture, and the backward view, lengthening, acquires a certain grandeur. Three of the stories collected here were included in volumes of The Best American Short Stories, and " A Sandstorm Farmhouse" won first prize in the O. Henry Awards in 1991. Book is AS NEW unmarked and probably unopened. Collectible. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall.…
