Title: Re: John Updike dead Post by: MFAWG on January 27, 2009, 10:21:15 PM He was one of my favorite novelists rip :( Seriously: Never read a book of his I liked. I should LOVE him. Like Mailer, love Pynchon, Updike not so much. Still, I won't say the fact that I didn't really get his work means he is any less than a literary giant of the past century whose passing should be noted with great sorrow, and a question: Where will the literary giants of the 21st century come from, or more specifically what medium will they work in? I haven't seen a really good AMERICAN novelist come along in the last 25 years. |
