I'd write a couple things about it, but I got the link from an HTML Giant post, and their comments are the same as anything I'd say (Who knew Dick Cavett blogged? Love Cheever's voice. No commercials!) The only thing I take issue with is the Giant's "not an Updike fan" comment. I'm a total, blubbering devotee. Harry Angstrom...hello? Making do with Janice...cardiac arrest on a boat with his granddaughter...the car dealership...his fuck-up son, Nelson...come on, it's terrific stuff.
Oh, and I thought "The Swimmer" was incredibly interesting, and fresh for having been written mid-twentieth century.
