Its hero is Harry \"Rabbit\" Angstrom, a onetime high-school basketball star who on an impulse deserts his wife and son. He is twenty-six years old, a man-child caught in a struggle between instinct and thought, self and society, sexual gratification and family duty--even, in a sense, human hard-heartedness and divine Grace. Though his flight from home traces a zigzag of evasion, he holds to the faith that he is on the right path, an invisible line toward his own salvation as straight as a ruler's edge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Updike\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0449911659\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780449911655\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Random House Trade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/27\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.32h x 5.52w x 0.74d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.9\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 16\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e83812 \/ Rabbit, Run\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/04\/2015 pg. 45","brand":"John Updike","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44050233819391,"sku":"9780449911655","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2a4ced82-5360-46a2-87ca-d14da753b52d.jpg?v=1685006024","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rabbit-run-john-updike-9780449911655","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
