Stated 'Second Printing Before Publication,' 260pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, erstwhile remainder (little red Random House stamp on tail pages, o/w unmarked), unread, in Near Fine condition. "John Updike's first collection of new short stories in seven years deals with such problems as divorce and remarriage, parents and children, prostitution and leprosy, extinct mammals and guilt-gems, resigning from a committee and getting in and out of Ethiopia. His heroes tend to be forty; his heroines are asleep, seductive, or reproachful. St. Augustine is ambivalent about his concubine. Another man finds extinct mammals easiest to love. Pain and comedy closely co-exist in this primarily domestic world of the self-seeking Seventies, where our lives dissolve into television commercials and the morning paper brings us news of lost Atlantises." [jacket copy] "In these stories, Updike's powers of observation and description are deployed with a master's conciseness, the fruit of twenty years at the steady practice of his craft. Snatches of conversation intended as neutral civilities are rendered with a perfect fidelity to the rhythms actual speech, put in touch with tides of resentment and pain and intimate longing which the speakers themselves had imagined themselves to be free. The most ordinary spaces and objects, cataloged with flamboyant accuracy, are seen to be full of meaning, mute totems of the humanly significant."--David Thorburn, MIT. "As a collection, PROBLEMS AND OTHER STORIES is marked by the author's growth as a writer, but the best stories in the book are best because they are about the subject which is most crucial to Updike. In those, form and feeling are one; the problem raised and the problem solved matter because the human heart is at stake; the drama is literally tied to it like a creature punished in the flames."--Jane Barnes.
