review 1: Ами... Опитах се да чета един известен автор. Може би не започнах с най-известната му книга, но това е напълно в мой стил. Това, което не беше в мой стил, е неговият. Най-грубо казано, историята на един разпадащ се брак, предадена по изключително равнодушен начин. Уж любовна история, уж чувства някакви, уж не можеха да се оставят, а все се оставяха наужким... Или просто това е най-точното отражение на глупавото ни ежедневие и точно то �... more�е ми хареса.Мисля да опитам пак Ъпдайк с Brazil - може би този път на английски с надеждата пó да ми се получи.
review 2: As I've said numerous times in Goodreads reviews, JU is my favorite author. I was 43 when I discovered him and have loved reading ever since. Maybe I loved to read before that, but discovering Updike was life-changing. My Goodreads review of my first Updike book "Rabbit Run" has more "likes" than any other of my reviews. This collection of stories spanning five decades of his writing is testimony to the constancy and consistency of JU's work. All eighteen of these stories could have come out of scenes from one novel.Richard and Joan Maple never had a good marriage, but Updike kept them together. He delivered four children and one grandson. He maintained their marriage despite vicious attacks on one another in a wholly believable style. less
