Rabbit Is Rich

Summary

Harry 'Rabbit' Angstrom, once a high school basketball star, now runs his late father-in-law's Toyota dealership in a Pennsylvania suburb during the gas-crunched late 1970s. Updike captures middle-aged complacency, sexual restlessness, and economic anxiety through dazzlingly precise prose that turns ordinary suburban detail into something close to poetry. As the third installment of the Rabbit cycle, it offered a definitive snapshot of a particular American moment.
