Review:
"September songs from an American master....These marvelously wrought stories should not be regarded as a career summation, but, rather, as evidence of a career interrupted....[S]avor this swan song...to be reminded of how splendid a writer Updike was." (starred review)
Brad Hooper, Booklist, 03/15/2009
Review:"[T]he ache of knowing and celebrating how we've lived, what it all may mean and where we're going give this final testament a beauty and gravity that crown a brilliant, enduring life's work and legacy." (starred review)

My Father's Tears and Other Stories (Hardback) (ISBN: 9780307271563) Updike, John Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Knopf Publishing Group, United States, 2009. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 204 x 142 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. John Updike's first collection of new short fiction since the year 2000, "My Father's Tears" finds the author in a valedictory mood as he mingles narratives of his native Pennsylvania with stories of New England suburbia and of foreign travel. "Personal Archaeology" considers life as a sequence of half-buried layers, and "The Full Glass" distills a lifetime's happiness into one brimming moment of an old man's bedtime routine. High-school class reunions, in "The Walk with Elizanne" and "The Road Home," restore their hero to youth's commonwealth where, as the narrator of the title story confides, "the self I value is stored, however infrequently I check on its condition." Exotic locales encountered in the journeys of adulthood include Morocco, Florida, Spain, Italy, and India. The territory of childhood, with its fundamental, formative mysteries, is explored in "The Guardians," "The Laughter of the Gods," and "Kinderszenen." Love's fumblings among the bourgeoisie yield the tart comedy of "Free," "Delicate Wives," "The Apparition," and "Outage." In sum, American experience from the Depression to the aftermath of 9/11 finds reflection in these glittering pieces of observation, remembrance, and imagination.
