Basic Bech: Bech a Book, Bech is Back
John Updike
Basic Bech combines two classic books from one of John Updike’s most beloved characters
Henry Bech, the celebrated author of Travel Light, has been scrutinized, canonized and vilified by reviewers, academics, critics and readers across the world. Suffering from temporary impotence and not-so-temporary writer’s block, Bech finds renewed fame when he returns to his native America and Think Big, his all-time blockbuster, hits the shops …
In these classic novels by John Updike, we return to a character as compelling and timeless as Rabbit Angstrom- the inimitable Henry Bech. Famous for his writer’s block, Bech is a Jew adrift in a world of Gentiles. As he roams from one adventure to the next, he views life with a blend of wonder and cynicism that will make you laugh with delight and wince in recognition.
