John Updike

Award-winning author, John Updike, died this week. He was 76. He was a 6 time finalist for the National Book Award and won in 1964 for The Centaur and again 1982 for Rabbit is Rich. He was also a two time winner of the Pulitzer for Rabbit is Rich in 1982 and Rabbit at Rest in 1991.

The Stanly County Library has a variety of his work. We have copies of some of his older novels, including Rabbit at Rest and some of his newest novels. His newest novel, Widows of Eastwick, which was published in October is on order. We also have a couple of collections of his poems and short stories. Please check the library's online catalog to see what is available or to place a reserve.
