Rabbit, Run

John Updike

Rabbit, Run is the book that established John Updike as one of the major American novelists of his generation. Harry “Rabbit” Angstrom, a onetime high-school basketball star deserts his wife and son on an impulse. He is twenty-six years old, a man-child caught in a struggle between instinct and thought, self and society, sexual gratification and family duty—even, in a sense, human hard-heartedness and divine Grace. Though his flight from home traces a zigzag of evasion, he holds to the faith that he is on the right path.
