Rabbit at Rest -- John Updike

<b>Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the Howells Medal, and the National Book Critics Circle Award</b><br> <b> </b><br> In John Updike's fourth and final novel about Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, the hero has acquired a Florida condo, a second grandchild, and a troubled, overworked heart. His son, Nelson, is behaving erratically; his daughter-in-law, Pru, is sending him mixed signals; and his wife, Janice, decides in midlife to return to the world of work. As, through the year of 1989, Reagan's debt-ridden, AIDS-plagued America yields to that of the first George Bush, Rabbit explores the bleak terrain of late middle age, looking for reasons to live and opportunities to make peace with a remorselessly accumulating past.<br><br><b>Author:</b> John Updike<br><b>Publisher:</b> Random House Trade<br><b>Published:</b> 08/27/1996<br><b>Pages:</b> 608<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.10lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.20h x 5.50w x 1.40d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780449911945<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 6.8<br><b>Point Value:</b> 31<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Upper Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>10843 / Rabbit at Rest<br><br><b>Award:</b> National Book Critics Circle Award - Winner<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>Entertainment Weekly</i> 06/27/2008 pg. 98<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>John Updike</b> was born in Shillington, Pennsylvania, in 1932.
