About This Book

John Updike's Rabbit Is Rich (1982) stands as one of the most significant works of literary fiction of its era. Harry 'Rabbit' Angstrom, now prosperous but restless in his Toyota dealership, navigates middle age, the 1970s energy crisis, and the uncomfortable emergence of his son's generation. Updike's Pulitzer winner (the third in the Rabbit tetralogy) is a pitch-perfect sociological portrait of American suburban life. Themes of suburban America, middle age, materialism run through the work. The book has received recognition from Pulitzer Prize 1982.
