Rabbit at Rest

约翰·厄普代克，集小说家、诗人、剧作家、散文家和评论家于一身的美国当代文学大师，作品两获普利策奖、两获国家图书奖以及欧·亨利奖等十数次奖项。“性爱、宗教和艺术”是厄普代克毕生追求的创作目标，“美国人、基督徒、小城镇和中产阶级”则是厄普代克独擅胜场的创作主题，他由此成为当之无愧的美国当代中产阶级的灵魂画师。他最著名的代表作“兔子四部曲”历时三十年写就，四部小说紧密贯通，似一气呵成，每一部又可单独成篇，共塑造了约一百五十个大小不等的鲜活人物，成为全面展示美国中产阶级生活图景、深刻探索美国中产阶级灵魂现状和救赎的史诗性巨著。

In John Updike's fourth and final novel about ex-basketball player Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, the hero has acquired heart trouble, a Florida condo, and a second grandchild. His son, Nelson, is behaving erratically; his daughter-in-law, Pru, is sending out mixed signals; and his wife, Janice, decides in mid-life to become a working girl. As, though the winter, spring, and summer of 1989, Reagan's debt-ridden, AIDS-plagued America yields to that of George Bush, Rabbit explores the bleak terrain of late middle age, looking for reasons to live.

阖上兔子四部曲，轻吁一口气，兔子的一生，结束了。人生之路，大都是这么过来的，倏忽间，已近不惑之年，这才幡然醒悟，原来最好的景致早就在匆忙地行路中错过了。于是，一步一回头的，张望着来时的路，记忆却模糊了。可美国30年代生人是多么的幸运啊，厄普代克在他们身后孜孜...

I miss Harry Angstrom not as if a dear friend has died, but as if I have died myself and yet somehow remain around to mourn my own loss.
