John Updike, RIP

Time to dust off that second-hand copy of “In the Beauty of the Lilies”.

Bought because one ought to have read an Updike. Ought to.
Bought also because the cover looked pretty.
About time.

Amit- some day! Rather intricate text, dark and intense too. Not what one would call easy reading.
