More Matter

This volume of prose by John Updike covering 40 years of journalism, criticism, and book reviews includes essays on writers (Melville, Wharton, Dreiser, Camille Paglia, Joseph Brodsky, Edmund Wilson), Al Capp, English grammar, Mickey Mouse, and old age. Updike proves once again that he can tackle almost any subject and write about it with knowledgeability, grace, self-deprecating humor, and originality. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
