Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the National Book Critics Circle Award The hero of John Updikes Rabbit, Run,ten years after the events of Rabbit Redux,has come to enjoy considerable prosperity as the chief sales representative of Springer Motors, a Toyota agency in Brewer, Pennsylvania. The time is 1979 Skylab is falling, gas lines are lengthening, and doubledigit inflation coincides with a deflation of national selfconfidence. Nevertheless, Harry Rabbit Angstrom feels in good shape, ready to enjoy life at lastuntil his wayward son, Nelson, returns from the West, and the image of an old love pays a visit to the lot. New characters and old populate these scenes from Rabbits middle age as he continues to pursue, in his zigzagging fashion, the rainbow of happiness.
