UPDIKE, JOHN. A Month Of Sundays.
Alfred A. Knopf, New York: 1975. 0394495519 / 9780394495514 First Edition. h Hardcover with dustjacket. Good condition.
Concerns a month of seventh days, a month of enforced rest and recreation as experienced by the Reverend Tom Marshfield, sent west from his Midwestern church in disgrace. The rules of the desert retreat, an omega-shaped motel brusquely managed by the impregnable Ms. Prynne, forbid religion, demand that games be played all afternoon and evening, and ask that the mornings be spent in writing ad libidum. In his wonderfully overwrought style the errrant cleric spills day by day his confession - his boyhood in a parsonage, his marriage to the daughter of his ethics professor, his seduction of his organist, his antipathetic conversations with his senile father and his bisexual curate (both doctrinal liberals, which Marshfield is not), his golf scores, his poker hands, his Biblical exegeses, his faith. A testament for our times.

UPDIKE, JOHN. Marry Me: A Romance.
Alfred A. Knopf, New York: 1976. 039440856X / 9780394408569 First Trade Edition. h Hardcover with dustjacket. Good condition.
The time is 1962, and the place is a fiefdom of Camelot called Greenwood, Connecticut. Jerry Conanat and Sally Mathias are in love and want to get married, though they are already married to others. A diadem of five symmetrical chapters describes the course of their affair as it flickers off and on through the long summer, in an atmosphere of moral twilight. For this, as the hero observes, "the twilight of the old morality, and there's just enough to torment us, and not enough to hold us in."
