Donald J. Greiner writes that he was asked to contribute an elegy on Updike for a special issue of Critique: Studies in Contemporary Fiction, which will include tributes to great American fiction writers who have died the past 15 years or so. The issue is scheduled to be published the last quarter of 2009.
