About This Item

New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1960. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. First edition. Edges of the boards a little bumped, near fine in very good, first issue dustwrapper with some short tears and modest overall wear. A nice, presentable copy of a key title, the first book in the Rabbit tetralogy, and probably the author's most sought after title.

Synopsis

Rabbit, Run , written by John Updike and first published by Alfred A. Knopf in 1960, follows a 26-year-old former high school basketball player nicknamed “Rabbit.” Imprisoned in a tedious job and a loveless marriage, Rabbit attempts to find freedom from his constrained middle-class lifestyle. The novel was republished in a 1963 Penguin Edition, which was the first to include more sexually risque passages cut by Knopf in the first edition. The first of the 'Rabbit Tetralogy',  Rabbit, Run  is perhaps the most sought-after title written by Updike.
