A high-spirited satiric romp through the stereotypical vision of the waning of the Sixties, which is largely an amusing vehicle by means of which Updike was able to put to use the voluminous learning he acquired while researching Buchanan Dying. Inevitably, some will love it and others will hate it. One of the best Updike novels I've read. Right up there with Couples, which was a masterpiece. His writing is always poetic, his humor sharp, and character sketches true. Throw in some sex and what's not to like. I loved the way the book moved back and forth between the main character, Alf Clayton, his life during the early/mid '70's, and James Buchanan, a forgettable pre-Lincoln President . sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Alfred Clayton recounts his memories and impressions of the Ford Administration, accidentally including pages from an unpublished book on President James Buchanan. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

The Ford Administration part of the book is a humorous telling, in the typical Updike way, of the main character's life during the Presidency of Gerald Ford. He makes a point of reminding us of how uneventful Ford's presidency was by barely mentioning him or any significant acts in those years. ( )
