Of Updike, he writes:<\/p>\n

“When John Updike\u2019s name is mentioned, most readers initially think of him as a novelist, and it\u2019s certainly through fiction that he established his reputation as a writer. But Updike also wrote an abundance of art criticism: the posthumous Always Looking<\/em> is his third such collection of work, following 1989\u2019s Just Looking<\/em> and 2005\u2019s Still Looking<\/em>. Delving into this side of Updike\u2019s writing shows an entirely different side to him than you might experience if you\u2019re only familiar with his fiction.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Below are Amazon links to the three Updike volumes on art, with the posthumously published third volume edited by Christopher Carduff:<\/p>\n
