Updike

I've only encountered John Updike on the pages of the New Yorker, having never actually read one of his books. But I have enjoyed reading some of the reflections on his life and work since he died on Tuesday. I thought this exploration of his theology was well worth reading.

you know he lived in Beverly? People saw him around town a lot, like at the library. Regular places.

Yeah, I saw them mention Beverly Farms in an article. I wonder if he ever went to Two Sisters in Gloucester, with the cursing owner.
