  • "SHORT STORIES. John Updike was a master storyteller, and this collection, from his final years, reveals that up to the end he remained the finest short-story writer of his generation. 'Magnificent, exhilarating, crisply evocative, rippling with irony. Updike's genius can be seen on peak form. With this book, a talent that burnt brightly goes out in a blaze of brilliance' - "Sunday Times". 'A haunting valedictory alive with characteristic preoccupations: small-town life; 'domestic duplicity'; travel; aging rituals; and, the transience of existence. This is a collection filled with nuanced observations, descriptive flair and sentences that stop you in your tracks' - "Metro"."
  • "Updike's first collection of new short fiction since the year 2000, "My Father's Tears" finds the author in a valedictory mood as he mingles narratives of his native Pennsylvania with stories of New England suburbia and of foreign travel."
  • "Von der Weltwirtschaftskrise der 30er bis zu den Nachwehen des elften September, vom ländlichen Alton bis ins ferne Indien spannt sich der Bogen eines ganzen Menschenlebens. In seinen nachgelassenen Erzählungen erweist John Updike sich ein letztes Mal und einmal mehr als "Meister der unangestrengten Bewegung" (Ian McEwan), als "ein Genie der Gegenwartsentschlüsselung in Geschichten""
