Synopsis
Updike's fourth "Rabbit" novel presents the human condition as personified by Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom. The fat, aging, ill Rabbit must also cope with his son's drug addiction, his wife's troubles, a former girlfriend who turns up suffering from lupus, and the world in general, with which Rabbit has always had a love-hate relationship. In this last work of his tetralogy, Updike dissects the horrors and failures of American society, while still managing to find hope, if not for Rabbit, then perhaps for the rest of us. RABBIT AT REST won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1991.

Publisher's Note
Winner of the 1991 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.In John Updike's fourth and final novel about ex-basketball player Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, the hero has acquired heart trouble, a Florida condo, and a second grandchild. His son and daughter-in-law are acting erratically, his wife Janice wants to work, and Rabbit is searching his soul, looking for reasons to live...."Brilliant...It must be read."THE WASHINGTON POST BOOK WORLD

Industry Reviews
"'Rabbit at Rest' is certainly the most brooding, the most demanding, the most concentrated of John Updike's longer novels. Its courageous theme--the blossoming and fruition of the seed of death we all carry inside us--is struck in the first sentence....This early note, so emphatically struck, reverberates through the length of the novel and invests its domestic-crisis story with an unusual pathos."
New York Times Book Review - Joyce Carol Oates (09/30/1996)

"[A] long, spectacular and excruciating novel in the maximalist vein. It may be [Updike's] finest."
