John Updike had the benefit of living in an age when authors could publish short stories in magazines. This gave him the opportunity to test himself in a challenging format. In this collection you can see the development of his style and the themes that come to dominate his later work. It represents a fascinating window on the young Updike and also contains some of his best work.
