Book Review: Villages by John Updike

Villages by John Updike. Since the 1950s, John Updike has been a chronicler of the American mind. His twenty-one novels, along with his poetry, short stories, and essays, examine the American Dream and its vagaries; the inner and outer lives of men and women living through the twentieth century; and the dichotomies of class, ethics, sexual maturation, big business, and politics—seen from both sides of the fence. Name it, and Updike has explored it.
