Description:
Collected in one volume for the first time -- and featuring a final, series-capping story, "His Oeuvre" -- John Updike's Bech stories have been a fixture of the American literary imagination since they first began appearing in The New Yorker more than 30 years ago. Henry Bech, a "moderately well known Jewish-American writer", by turns cynical and naive, wry and avuncular, and always amorous, is Updike's literary alter ego and one of his most beloved creations. From Bech's birth in 1923 to his belated paternity and public apotheosis in 1999, his life -- heretofore chronicled in three best-selling books, Bech: A Book (1970), Bech Is Back (1982), and Bech at Bay (1998) -- is captured in scenes laced with Updike's trademark wit, wicked humor, and lyric pungency. The Complete Henry Bech is an arch appreciation of the literary life in America from an incomparable American writer.
