Extractions: It is easy enough to grow blasé about John Updike. A serious mistake, of course, but understandable. After all, the beak-nosed virtuoso of American letters has been producing a substantial volume or two each year for more than four decades, alternating highly original fiction with super-sized collections of essays and occasional bursts of adroit and clever poetry. Claire Pitt, the extremely unreliable narrator of this novel, is a familiar Brook-ner heroine: an orphan who spends her free time on lonely walks through the streets of London, a hard-working woman whose job in a dusty secondhand bookshop buttresses her against ennui. Above all, she is unattached. Claire bleakly summarises: "I was free because nothing was required of me. I was therefore superfluous."
