Purchase options and add-ons

Library of America's definitive Updike edition continues with three masterful novels on the joys and the discontents of the sexual revolution

Here for the first time in one volume are three of John Updike's most essential novels--the scandalous Couples, the brilliant Rabbit Redux, and the uproarious A Month of Sundays--which together form an unforgettable triptych of the social turbulence that roiled America from the Kennedy to the Nixon years. Written with the grace, verve, and style of one of literature's most sophisticated entertainers, these books not only reveal Updike's genius in characterization and his formal versatility as a novelist but also delve into the complexities of sex and marriage, social class and personal morality, and the difficult quandaries of the flesh and the spirit. As a special feature the volume also presents two short pieces that shed light on the novels and the tale "Couples: A Short Story," the origin of the novel of the same name, written in 1963 but deemed unsuitable for publication by The New Yorker.

COLLECTED NOVELS In one volume for the first time, four early works that signaled the arrival of one of the most gifted young novelists of the 1960s. The LOA Updike edition continues with three masterful novels on the joys and the discontents of the sexual revolution. The renowned Rabbit saga continues, along with two wickedly funny satires set in the charged realms of sex, politics, and family. John Updike, at the peak of his powers, concludes his unforgettable Rabbit series and reimagines The Scarlet Letter. Three masterful late works in one volume: a brilliant exploration of the American Century; a reimagining of Shakespeare’s Hamlet; and a bittersweet coda to the Rabbit series.
