THE NEW YORKER
S. is Sarah Worth--a doctor's wife, North Shore matron, loving mother, and suddenly an ardent follower of a Hindu religious leader known as the Arhat, whom she decides to follow to his Arizona Ashram. In the letters and audiocassettes that Sarah sends to her husband, daughter, mother, brother, best friend, and anyone else who even touches her life, master novelist John Updike gives us a witty comedy of manners, a biting satire of life on a religious commune, and the story of an American woman in search of herself.

"A spiritual adventure story . . . Updike fully inhabits his imperfect matron. Her voice, which can sweep from the heights of religious fluff to the swamps of bathos in astonishing feats of non sequitur, is a wonderful comic invention."--Newsweek
