Blogger contemplates The Centaur

Screen Shot 2015-04-30 at 8.33.32 AMBlogger Jeffrey Keeten, whose interest in books goes beyond reviews, has posted a review of Updike’s novel The Centaur. “I’m not really sure why people have quit reading John Updike,” he muses (though there’s really no justification for thinking so). “I could not put down this flawed, but wonderful book.”

Though his review is mostly plot summary, Keeten remarks, “The novel in many ways is brilliant, reflecting an author’s mind that is brimming with intelligence and convoluted thoughts, maybe the inspiration for the labyrinth of George’s own mind.”
