The Maples Stories   John Updike
A one-volume collection of all eighteen stories about Richard and Joan Maples Updike wrote throughout his career. As always with Updike, he explores the rich emotional complexity and nuances of a relationship in highly intelligent, luminous, exquisite prose. Humorous, and at times, deeply moving. I really miss Updike’s writing, wish he were still alive. Loved every word.
