"Lovingly registered, epical narrative of a twentieth-century America caught between God and celluloid dreams, Victorian certainty and modern doubt, the new humanism and a grim millennial rage. It takes its place among his finest books" Malcolm Bradbury, The Times. In Updike's latest book we follow the fortunes of the Wilmot family from 1910, when Clarence Wilmot leaves the Faith to sell encyclopedias, to the present day and the passion of Clarence's great-grandson. Hamish Hamilton are also publishing a collection of Updike's golf writings this month.
