THE WASHINGTON POST
Harry Angstrom was a star basketball player in high school and that was the best time of his life. Now in his mid-20s, his work is unfulfilling, his marriage is moribund, and he tries to find happiness with another woman.

What people are saying
Editor in chief @kirkusreviews, @bookcritics member, former books & travel editor @newsday. Ask me what I’m reading.
The trailer for the 1970 film adaptation of RABBIT, RUN, unearthed by @mathitak for this story on James Caan's book-to-screen roles, is really something. Click through: https://bit.ly/3yttGvO
"Before this, the books I read when I was young followed remarkable lives... What I realized when I read this novel at 18 was that, for the most part, not much happens in life. And while that truth was very disappointing, it was also oddly a relief."
Praise for this book
"Brilliant and poignant . . . By his compassion, clarity of insight, and crystal-bright prose, [John Updike] makes Rabbit's sorrow his and our own."--The Washington Post
"The power of the novel comes from a sense, not absolutely unworthy of Thomas Hardy, that the universe hangs over our fates like a great sullen hopeless sky. There is real pain in the book, and a touch of awe."--Norman Mailer, Esquire
"A lacerating story of loss and of seeking, written in prose that is charged with emotion but is always held under impeccable control."--Kansas City Star
