@HorseshitDetector Updike was in no way a homophobe. A family friend of his happened to be homosexual, and i have seen them both in person conversing as friends do

@HorseshitDetector you're an idiot...

@HorseshitDetector Glad to see there's someone progressive minded enough to relish the death of people who say they don't like reading books about homosexuals.

Updike was a terrible homophobe. Glad he's dead.

Amazing that such a small, unassuming man can produce such work and be such a genius. I can't get over how beautiful his books are.

My favorite writer. I read his short story "A&P" in college and then picked up his book "Couples" and fell in love with his writing style. R.I.P.

I'm halfway thru Rabbit is Rich- I was an english major and never read him until now (age 35). I always knew of Updike and his death got me interested in finally trying him out. I started with one of the Bech books and could not get into it and then figured I'd give the him one more chance and I fell in love with Rabbit, Run! Updike is brilliant. I wish my wife's book club would do the series...
Rest in peace Updike. Your prose will live on like an untarnished gem
