Yesterday I finally discovered John Updike! What a masterclass of writing.
It was love at first page.
Strangely, his heroes (in Love Licks) are cruising above any deep, ravishing feelings or are just routinely burying them, yet at the end there's a powerful emotional impact resulted from a slow accumulation of things hinted and left unsaid.
Genius! Too bad he didn't win the Nobel Prize!
