John Updike is an American writer. His most famous works are in his Rabbit series, and two of those won Pulitzer Prizes. Updike has published 22 novels and more than a dozen short story collections as well as poetry, literary criticism and children’s books. Hundreds of his stories, reviews, and poems have appeared in “The New Yorker” since the 1950s.

After graduating from Harvard, Updike joined “The New Yorker” as a regular contributor. In 1957, Updike left Manhattan and moved to Ipswich, Massachusetts, which served as the model for the fictional New England town of Tarbox in his 1968 novel, “Couples.” In 1959 he published a well-regarded collection of short stories, “The Same Door,” which included both “Who Made Yellow Roses Yellow?” and “A Trillion Feet of Gas.” Other classic stories include “A&P,” “Pigeon Feathers,” “The Alligators,” and “Museums and Women.” His 1960 “New Yorker” essay “Hub Fans Bid Kid Adieu,” about Boston baseball legend Ted Williams’ last game, is regarded as being among the best examples of sportswriting. Updike is a well-known and practicing critic (“Assorted Prose” 1965, “Picked-Up Pieces” 1975, “Hugging the Shore” 1983, “Odd Jobs” 1991, “More Matter” 1999), and is often in the center of critical wars of words.
