Présentation de l'éditeur

Self-Consciousness

One of our finest novelists now gives us his most dazzling creation -- his own life. In six eloquent and compelling chapters, the author of The Witches of Eastwick and the wonderful Rabbit trilogy gives us an incitingly honest look at the makings of an American writer -- and of an American man.

Here is Updike on his childhood, on ailments both horrible (psoriasis) and hilarious (his experiences at the hands of a dentist), on his stuttering, on his feelings during the Vietnam War, on his genealogy. and on that most elusive of subjects, his innermost self. What emerges is a fascinating, fully formed portrait -- candid, often very, funny, and always illuminating.

John Updike

Revue de presse

"Fascinating...These memoirs, often unabashedly philosophical, take us inside Updike's mind in the way that biography almost never can ....Self-Consciousness is fresh assurance that Updike continues to work his magic on the page."

Chicago Tribune
"Nobody writes better about anything than Updike."

The Washington Post
