John Updike is quite simply one of the GREAT prose writers. Reading him is a joy, especially his ability to write about every day life and relationships. 'Giving the mundane it's beautiful due' .

I miss John Updike. Thank goodness for the books. And these You Tube videos of Updike. He will live forever like this.

Last week finished a reread of 'Roger's Version' and am now immersed in 'The Beauty of the Lillies'. As I have commented elsewhere, John Updike is my favourite author. I love the poetry, the mellifluous current of words, am transfixed with images, and the challenge of the whole to re-think, to alter, and yes, to worship at the altar of the greatest author of my lifetime.

His ability to formulate sophisticated and creative responses and convey them so eloquently is remarkable.

The quote you've chosen is what makes Updike, for me, essential, especially for those of us who are students of Literature.

Did anyone else catch, at the beginning of this, when Updike "promised" he would not be writing another book? Extraordinarily moving in light of his recent death.

@HR5308 That's interesting, I found "Terrorist" to actually be his weakest novel, at least of the ones I've read (just 3-4).

What do you think of that Republican's? John Updike at 1:19:41 says he loves Obama.

This is too hard to watch. He only had a few months left to live at the time of this interview. He died the following January.

"Terrorist" seems the best book from Updike, even in the german translation I have read. What a great novelist!
