Licks of Love

Collected with a dozen wonderful stories, all set in classic Updike territory, the short novel 'RABBIT REMEMBERED' is a major work in its own right - a riveting return to Updike's most celebrated fictional world. Janice and Nelson Angstrom, plus several other survivors of the irreducible Rabbit, fitfully entertain his memory while pursuing their own happiness over the edge of the millennium, as a number of old strands come together in entirely unexpected ways.

Reviews

Remarkably good... Perverse, poetic, odd... It will leave you feeling quite wonderful

—— Guardian

'Excellent...This is no headbanging memoir of juvenile depravity, but an unashamed handbook to the sustained pursuit of sex

—— The Times

Consistently clever... genuinely memorable

—— Boston Globe

While each tale is original and complete in itself, a beautiful atmosphere of comic melancholy pervades the whole

—— Esquire

Funny, softhearted and hopeful

—— Los Angeles Times
