NOTES
"This volume in Library of America's John Updike edition presents two essential novels by the master stylist of postwar American fiction. Roger's Version (1986) stakes out ground that encompasses Updike's recurring themes of sex, desire, and adultery as well as an emerging interest in the cosmic implications of contemporary scientific breakthroughs. Widely hailed upon publication as a masterpiece, awarded a Pulitzer and a National Book Critics Circle prize, Rabbit at Rest (1990) wraps up the saga of Updike's most enduring protagonist and concludes his "surpassingly eloquent elegy for his country," in the words of Joyce Carol Oates"--
