Harry “Rabbit” Angstrom, now 36 (and a doughy reactionary), deals with the implosion of his marriage and job by allowing the radical summer of ‘69 to literally take up residence in his bland suburban living room…with hilarious and tragic results. What a character: passive, depressed, noble and weak, fiercely traditional yet intrigued by doomed rebels and angered by the narrow-minded neighbors. Updike is on fire, with a fierce, hypnotic style.
