Updike in Cincinnati - A Literary Performance

Klappentext ""I had a great time in Cincinnati; but why is there no shrine to Doris Day?"" --John Updike In the wake of race riots and an airline strike, John Updike came to the University of Cincinnati in April 2001 as an honored guest. Over two spring days, he engaged and charmed his audiences, reading from his fiction, fielding questions, sitting for an interview, participating in a panel discussion, and touring Cincinnati. "Updike in Cincinnati"--composed of a wealth of materials, including session transcripts, short fiction read and discussed by the author, photographs, and anecdotal observations about Updike's behavior in the Queen City--is unique in comprehensively documenting a literary visit by a major American author.
