  • "Updike describes himself as a child of the Depression, lucky to exist at all. He was a squeamish child and as an adult attempts to face nature and finds it somewhat difficult to research different grasses, flowers, names of cars, etc. in order to make his work accurate. He does use religious issues in his novels, but prefers to stay away from political views although he has a well thought out personal political attitude."
