  • "Updike's most irresistible hero since Rabbit Angstrom is an author famous for his writer's block, a Jew adrift in a world of gentiles. As he roams from one adventure to the next, he view life with a blend of wonder and cynicism that will make readers laugh with delight and wince in recognition."
  • "Portrait d'un romancier juif de 67 ans, alter ego, et fantasme privilégié d'Updike. Un roman spirituel qui constitue également une bonne description de l'artiste américain, Blanc, protestant, anxieux, et cultivant "l'ironie en circuit fermé" (cf. l'avant-propos, p. 7-10)."
  • "Polish translation of "Bech: a book". A novel about the adventures of a Jewish author from New York."
  • "The Jewish American novelist Henry Bech'procrastinating, libidinous, and tart-tongued, his reputation growing while his powers decline'made his first appearance in 1965, in John Updike's "The Bulgarian Poetess." That story won the O. Henry First Prize, and it and the six Bech adventures that followed make up this collection. "Bech is the writer in me," Updike once said, "creaking but lusty, battered but undiscourageable, fed on the blood of ink and the bread of white paper." As he trots the globe, promotes himself, and lurches from one woman's bed to another's, Bech views life with a blend of wonder and cynicism that will make followers of the lit-biz smile with delight and wince in recognition. From the Trade Paperback edition."
  • "He goes through the motions of success, visiting Russia and Bulgaria as an ambassador for American culture, nobody notices anything wrong with his performance. The main theme of the book is the friction between Bech's outward life and his self-knowledge."
