RABBIT IS RICH

New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1981. First printing. Near fine in a near fine jacket.. First printing, review copy, of the third of the Angstrom series, winner of both the 1982 National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize. The series that made and maintained Updike's reputation: first, with RABBIT, RUN, introducing the splendors and miseries of the grown-up high-school athlete, his glories behind him and his suburban responsibilities upon him; then the ten-years-after sequel, RABBIT REDUX, in which all the tumult and ferment of a decade arrives tangled and compressed into what even the most stony-hearted and unforgiving of critics must agree is, after all, a novel. The subsequent RABBIT IS RICH won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction, as did the following and final RABBIT AT REST. 8'' x 5.25''. Original full auburn cloth. In original unclipped ($13.95) color printed jacket. 468 pages. Publisher review slip loosely laid in. Jacket moderately toned. Touches of shelfwear here and there. Overall sharp and clean.
