About This Item
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., 1976. First Edition 2nd Printing. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. A collectible book with some wear on edges of DJ. MInor numbers written on top corner of Front Free Endpaper. Reviews of Kierkegaard, Proust, Joyce, Dostoevsky, and Hamsun among the classics; Borges, Nabokov, Grass, Bellow, Cheever, and Jong among the contemporaries. Here too are meditations on Satan and cemeteries, travel essays on London and Anguilla, three very early "golf dreams," and one big interview. Picked-Up Pieces is a glittering treasury for every reader who likes life, books, wit-and John Updike. Updike could become one of our finest literary critics as well as novelists, an heir to that imposing predecessor in the pages of The New Yorker, Edmund Wilson."-James Atlas, The New York Times Magazine
