Rabbit Redux - John Updike

Ten years after "Rabbit, Run" Harry Angstrom seems to awake suddenly from a tedious life. Her wife leaves him and he gets involved with a white girl who had fled home and a black boy fleeing justice. There is also his 12 years old son, Nelson.  Those very days John Armstrong and his companions were heading for the Moon. The talented Updike tells the story in a direct, glittering way. It's been said to reflect the ordinary american life.
