Review: Rabbit Redux
Rabbit Redux by John Updike
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I don't read much fiction, but I find myself occasionally drawn to the zany, unhinged world of Updike's Rabbit. I think something about Harry Ansgstrom reminds of a Henry Miller blend with protagonist Dwayne Hoover, Midwest Pontiac dealer in [b:Breakfast of Champions|4980|Breakfast of Champions|Kurt Vonnegut|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1327934446s/4980.jpg|2859378]. This is also interesting for the oblique analysis of Vietnam-era topics like 2001: A Space Odyssey, black power, and the war itself.
