Description
|
|
|
|
Since tales of his exploits began appearing in The New Yorker more than 30 years ago, Henry Bech, John Updike's playfully irreverent alter-ego, has charmed readers with his aesthetic dithering and his seemingly inexhaustible libido. The Bech stories—collected in one volume for the first time, and featuring a final, series-capping story, "His Oeuvre"—cast an affectionate eye on the famously unproductive Jewish-American writer, offering up a stream of wit, whimsy, and lyric pungency unmatched in American letters. The Everyman's Library, created in 1905, embodied London publisher Joseph Malaby Dent's vision of publishing the world's great literature in quality editions that were affordable for everyone, and was relaunched in 1991 by Knopf. This edition features acid-free paper, a full-cloth sewn binding, gold stamped spine, and silk ribbon marker, and includes an introduction, bibliography, and contextual chronology of the author.
