Updike's Rabbit, the aging high-school basketball star adrift in the century's confusion, is an archetypal American hero, one strikingly real and individual yet emblematic of his class, his country, and his era. Updike's remarkable achievements in these novels as poet and historian-his ingenious weaving of lyric and epic, of art and four decades of American politics-require that the novels be read on a variety of levels, thus lending themselves to the diverse critical approaches represented in \u003ci\u003eRabbit Tales. \u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLawrence R.
