{"product_id":"myth-and-gospel-in-the-john-mctavish-9781498225083","title":"Myth and Gospel in the Fiction of John Updike","description":"Big on style, slight on substance: that has been a common charge over the years by critics of John Updike. In fact, however, John Updike is one of the most serious writers of modern times. Myth, as this book shows, unlocks his fictional universe and repeatedly breaks open the powerful themes in his literary parables of the gospel. Myth and Gospel in the Fiction of John Updike also includes a personal tribute to John Updike by his son David, two essays by pioneer Updike scholars Alice and Kenneth Hamilton, and an anecdotal chapter in which readers share Updike discoveries and recommendations. All in all, weight is added to the complaint that the master of myth and gospel was shortchanged by the Nobel committee.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John McTavish\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 149822508X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781498225083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cascade Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"John McTavish","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48442296107263,"sku":"9781498225083","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3a854321-d7d0-4db2-b239-e9f7b11ea3c7.jpg?v=1777196440","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/myth-and-gospel-in-the-john-mctavish-9781498225083","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
