Description
A decade after his first crisis, Harry “Rabbit” Angstrom returns to a life that looks ordinary on the surface—work at a local printing plant, routines with his son, and the uneasy attempt to keep family and identity intact. But the late 1960s press in from every direction: cultural upheaval, racial and social tensions, and the private reckonings of marriage, desire, and grief. As Rabbit watches the world change around him, he confronts the limits of his own passivity and the sharp contradictions between the values he clings to and the radical critiques that surround him. In John Updike’s character-driven, sharply observed style, *Rabbit Redux* becomes a searching portrait of a man trying to “revive” meaning in a country—and a family—already coming apart.
