The interview in its entirety can be found on the CSPAN site: c-spanvideo (dot) org just search for John Updike. Worth a watch for any Updike fan. The BBC has a collection of audio only interviews as well.

The only books I read are the Almanac and the Encyclopedia. Other than that, besides the Dictionary, America's writing is so fake its not even funny. It doesn't make much sense whatsoever.

I really enjoyed the talk and would certainly watch another hour and a half. Thanks for uploading this and I regret that the other half is missing

The first novel I read of his was Rabbit is Rich. I was a freshman in college. The first few pages, you could feel the decay of the U. S. in the late 70s. I could literally feel the paint peeling off of everything. All of the settings and characters literally stunk.
The only problem I've had with his fiction is that his sentences tend to be dragged out because they are crammed with detail.

What happened to the sound?

Hey, why i hear no Sound?
can´t you please stop those stupid ratings. there´s no best or second best writer, since literature is no olympic event! as updike says it himself: the house of fiction like the house of god has many mansions...
