Pro Reviews: Afterlife and Other Stories
He has rarely written more affectingly, more from the center of his being....Reviewing a novel by Vladimir Nabokov in 1964, Mr. Updike said, 'He writes prose the only way it should be written--that is, ecstatically.' That ecstasy is evident on every page of 'The Afterlife'.
The medium of [Updike's] transactions is the famous Updike style: fluent to a fault, rich in metaphor, rising to exquisite heights in places, toppling elsewhere into preciousness and affectation....Indeed, John Updike has rarely written more affectingly, more from the center of his being. Several of these stories will, I suspect, enjoy the kind of afterlife granted to few writers in any time or place.
Publisher Notes: Afterlife and Other Stories
- Updike's 11th collection of short stories contains 22 evocative, well-crafted tales of aging men, and their wives, in whom the approach of death provokes painful insights and extraordinary behavior.
