The eminent American writer, John Updike, passed away today.
Although I haven't read any of his work in a long while, I did my Master's thesis on his four Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom novels. The main character is an American Everyman of sorts, a guy concerned with money, sex, sports, and getting ahead. Those four novels are also mirrors of America.
Rabbit at Rest.

Harry Angstrom sometimes has the mind of a rabbit.
