Sinossi
Abbandonati i sogni della giovinezza, sportivi e non, Harry Angstrom detto "Coniglio" si avvicina a grandi passi verso l'età matura. E quando la moglie Janice lo abbandona per un altro uomo, Harry, rimasto solo con il figlio tredicenne, precipita in una spirale di depressione e incertezza. Finché, a sconvolgere e a rimettere in gioco la sua vita, non arrivano Skeeter, un afroamericano, reduce del Vietnam e spacciatore, e Jill, una ragazzina ricca in fuga dalla famiglia. Uno scandaloso ménage a quattro, nel quale tutte le utopie e le folli derive del Sessantotto e della Summer of Love sembrano incarnarsi.

Recensioni
These days I wouldn’t bother to read Rabbit Redux at all but I remember then I even liked it in a way. The novel is too artificial and I believe John Updike simply wanted to catch some zeitgeist in just to be in the running… Stavros takes it up quickly. ‘She on anything?’‘Who?’‘This nympho of yours.’ Leggi tutto
I gave the first in John Updike’s Rabbit series ( Rabbit, Run ) – 5-stars. Too easy. The second in the series Rabbit Redux - I found to be a trickier affair.

Or Rabbit Gets Woke, in which Rabbit is turned on to and back off of the hippie movement with the convenient help of a barely legal teenager who shows up like "I love blowjobs, can I live with you?" and a crazy black guy who will not shut up. Rabbit Redux is Updike's Go Ask Alice, a bizarre, racist
I felt this was the weakest of the Rabbit books. It covers the 60s and has a particularly reprehensible co-star. There is lots of violence and hate in this book - the hideous underside to the sexual revolution. Obviously, Updike was not taken in by all the peace, love and happiness rhetoric and inst Leggi tutto
Like the decade of the 60s, “Rabbit Redux” is a bit tricky. Wee complications arise in so liberal a landscape, especially if the everyman in the novel is absurdly conservative. Add then a haze proliferated by drugs (weed and alcohol and pills) in the mix, and what you have left over is Harry “Rabbit Leggi tutto
Not as strong or striking as the first encounter with Rabbit, but certain familiar obtuseness and brazenness about its conduct still - if less compelling, that might still be quite befitting with the narrative of Rabbit's current point in life. I remain intrigued for the continuation of the series. 3 Leggi tutto
