New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1984. Choices takes us back into Liv Ullmann's extraordinary life as she shares her most personal thoughts and feelings about her loves, about her daughter, about her work as an actress and her impassioned work with UNICEF, and - most important and telling - about entering her middle years finding herself, perhaps for the first time in her life, ready and anxious to make the choices that reflect her own needs and desires rather than those of the people around her.

Description:
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1990. In John Updikes fourth and final novel about Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, the hero has acquired a Florida condo, a second grandchild, and a troubled, overworked heart. His son, Nelson, is behaving erratically; his daughter-in-law, Pru, is sending him mixed signals; and his wife, Janice, decides in midlife to return to the world of work. As, through the year of 1989, Reagans debt-ridden, AIDS-plagued America yields to that of the first George Bush, Rabbit explores the bleak terrain of late middle age, looking for reasons to live and opportunities to make peace with a remorselessly accumulating past.

Description:
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1999. First edition of this work by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author. Octavo, original cloth, with 46 illustrations. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author to his friend and golfing partner in the year of publication on the front free endpaper, "For Peter Vermilze matters to be consumed in small tasty bites Merry Christmas John Updike 12/25/99." Updike has also drawn a nice drawing of Santa Claus. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Susan Carroll. Jacket photograph by Steve Buhman. John Updike's fiftieth book and fifth collection of assorted prose, most of it first published in The New Yorker, brings together eight years' worth of essays, criticism, addresses, introductions, humorous feuilletons, and -- in a concluding section, "Personal Matters" -- paragraphs on himself and his work. More matter, indeed, in an age which, his introduction states, wants "real stuff -- the dirt, the nitty gritty -- and not . . . the obliquities and…

Description:
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1960-2000. First editions of each volume in the Rabbit quartet. Octavos, 5 volumes, original half cloth. Each volume is near fine to fine in very good to near fine dust jackets. Updikes choice of Rabbit Angstrom, in Rabbit, Run, was inspired, one of those happy, instinctive accidents that so often shape a literary career" (Books of the Century, 450). "Taken together, this quartet of novels has given its readers a wonderfully vivid portrait of one Harry (Rabbit) Angstrom . . . The books have also created a Kodachrome-sharp picture of American life . . . from the somnolent 50s . . . into the uncertainties of the 80s" (The New York Times). Rabbit, Run was the basis for the 1970 film directed by Jack Smight starring James Caan as Rabbit Angstrom, Carrie Snodgress as Rabbit's wife Janice, and Anjanette Comer as his girlfriend Ruth. The movie co-starred Jack Albertson as Coach Marty Tothero, Arthur Hill as Rev. Jack Eccles, and Henry Jones and Josephine Hutchinson as…

Description:
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1996. First edition of this classic collection of golf stories by John Updike. Octavo, original half cloth, illustrations by Paul Szep. Signed by John Updike on the front free endpaper. Fine in a fine dust jacket. John Updike wrote about the lure of golf for five decades, from the first time he teed off at the age of twenty-five until his final rounds at the age of seventy-six. Golf Dreams collects the most memorable of his golf pieces, high-spirited evidence of his learning, playing, and living for the game. The camaraderie of golf, the perils of its present boom, how to relate to caddies, and how to manage short putts are among the topics he addresses, sometimes in lyrical essays, sometimes in light verse, sometimes in wickedly comic fiction. All thirty pieces have the lilt of a love song, and the crispness of a firm chip stiff to the pin.
