Pigeon Feathers: And Other Stories

Pigeon Feathers: And Other Stories

When this classic collection of stories first appearedâ€”in 1962, on the authorâ€™s thirtieth birthdayâ€”Arthur Mizener wrote in The New York Times Book Review: â€œUpdike is a romantic [and] like all American romantics, that is, he has an irresistible impulse to go in memory home again in order to find himself. . . . The precise recollection of his own family-love, parental and marital, is vital to him; it is the matter in which the saving truth is incarnate. . . . Pigeon Feathers is not just a book of very brilliant short stories; it is a demonstration of how the most gifted writer of his generation is coming to maturity; it shows us that Mr. Updikeâ€™s fine verbal talent is no longer pirouetting, however gracefully, out of a simple delight in motion, but is beginning to serve his deepest insight.â€
