Rabbit, Run

The world window handed me Updike's 1960 novel this morning. A man who keeps running from everything he builds. Our project is called 'While We're Both Running.'

The title was sitting right there for 35 days.

John #Updike, a rather randy gent, was writing this black sex comedy full of exquisite dialogue and dread, and then, it seems, decided to kick his readers square in the gut. Rabbit, Run caught me off guard in the best way. #novel #FridayReads

18. März 1932: #HeuteVor 91 Jahren wurde in Reading, Pennsylvania 🇺🇸 der Schriftsteller John Hoyer Updike geboren. #Updike und #Boyle sind dafür verantwortlich, dass ich Literatur für mich entdeckt habe.

Updikes Pentalogie über Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom ist einer der wenigen Serienromane, die ich auch über 40 Jahre nach dem ersten Lesen immer noch gern aus dem Regal ziehe. Inzwischen ist das ein längst verblichenes Amerika, aber ... :meowbook:

"Schreiben ist das einzige mir verbliebene Laster. Es ist eine Sucht, eine illusorische Befreiung, eine vermessene Zähmung der Wirklichkeit, eine Möglichkeit, das Unerträgliche leicht und heiter darzustellen." #Updike

The #Days are short,
The #Sun a #Spark,
Hung thin between
The dark & dark.

Fat snowy #Footsteps
track the floor.
Milk bottles burst
Outside the #Door.

The #River is
A #Frozen place
Held still beneath
The #Trees of lace.

The #Sky is low.
The #Wind is gray.
The radiator
Purrs all day.

- John #Updike, #January

#Vss365 (#Gardener's version)

Today's word made me think of John #Updike's A&P: #Lust in the Aisles.

Like the #Slow #Sound of a #Great #Gong,
#Yellow overspreads the #Woods

From the tan of #Beech & #Ash
To the #Hickory's spotty #Gold

And the Hat #Butter #Color of the mitten-shaped
#Leaves of the #Sassafras

#Mittens that can have a #Thumb
or two
or none.
