Rabbit Is Rich

Summary

The third installment in the Rabbit tetralogy finds Harry Angstrom comfortably middle-aged, running his late father-in-law's Toyota dealership in a Pennsylvania suburb during the late-1970s gas crisis and inflation. Updike tracks his everyman through golf, sex, money, and uneasy fatherhood with his trademark sentence-level precision. The novel is often cited as the strongest entry in one of the most ambitious portraits of postwar middle-class American life.
