It never decides just what the artistic reasons (sales and nostalgia are another matter) were for bringing back Rabbit instead of starting anew its existence is likely to do retrospective damage to that better book Rabbit, Run. The book is cleverer than a barrel full of monkeys, and about as odd in its relation of form to content. There is more activity than purposefulness: an intricate scheme of parallelisms with the moon shot a rich (but in the end funked or slighted) sense of possible parallels between oral sex and verbalism or certain verbal habits likewise a sense of parallels between the job of linotyping and the job of writing. ![]() ![]() “There is a great deal in Rabbit Redux, but only because John Updike has put it there.

Despite the temptation to individualism, no one human being can do the work of becoming by themselves. Specifically, that being human is being shaped in relationship with other human beings.

A journey down a philosophical rabbit hole. What does it mean to be a human being? What does it mean to be human with unique identities living on a living Earth? I know it may seem far too esoteric for some.

The result has differed from my expectation in this only, that I have pleased a greater number, than I ventured to hope I should please. ![]() I had formed no very inaccurate estimate of the probable effect of those Poems: I flattered myself that they who should be pleased with them would read them with more than common pleasure: and, on the other hand, I was well aware, that by those who should dislike them they would be read with more than common dislike. It was published, as an experiment, which, I hoped, might be of some use to ascertain, how far, by fitting to metrical arrangement a selection of the real language of men in a state of vivid sensation, that sort of pleasure and that quantity of pleasure may be imparted, which a Poet may rationally endeavour to impart. The first Volume of these Poems has already been submitted to general perusal. ![]() |
