Description:
These essays show the Rabbit novels to be a carefully crafted fabric of changing hues and textures, of social realism and something of grandeur, worthy of Dickens, Thackeray, and Joyce.
Review Quotes: "In light of the fact that Updike has seemingly concluded his Rabbit series, Broer's excellent collection is an especially timely mosaic of intelligent and knowledgeable critical voices that looks at the tetralogy from a variety of new viewpoints. It made me want to go back and reread the novels in light of its new insights."--Jackson R. Bryer, University of Maryland
