Updike certainly turns out the anti-hero in Harry (Rabbit) Angstrom, a misogynistic 26-year old ex-basketball player who hasn't grown up. Love, for Harry, ebbs away with every ejaculation and is restored only when his reservoir’s fill up. Yet women fall for him, forgive him, hate him and hate themselves for their vulnerability, while Ha foil, the Rev Jack Eccles, who is truly on a mission to save souls, is despised by his wife Lucy. And yet it was the Eccles's of this world, the organizational men (and women), who built post-war America. I wonder how this book was received when it first came out. Updike was also lucky to be writing this novel before the literary writing classes and editors became more established in the land. The book is loaded with the how-not-to's that contemporary literary courses teach us: word repetitions, tense changes, sudden point-of-view shifts, first person/third person confusion, unnecessary adverbs, run-on sentences, lack of punctuation, multiple pronouns in a sentence referring to different characters and confusing the reader...the list goes on. Some scenes run forever and Updike is anal (pardon the pun) on detail, even when he goes to great pains to disguise the "unnatural" sex acts that Rabbit demands of his women. And yet he was able to hold my attention with his snappy dialogue, with dramatic scenes such as Janice's alcoholic misadventure with her baby, and with dysfunctional characters such as Harry and Jack. I got the impression that, like his protagonist, Updike was running free of his contemporaries, the critics and the editors, writing this book and determined to preserve his distinct voice (whether we like it or not). Perhaps the title of this book should have been "Updike, Run.”
