This is kind of unexpected, he is one of those writers that I assumed was dead but had to remind myself was still alive. While I realize he was a great writer, I never really cared for his work. Still he is an important literary presence. RIP.
Update: Neo-Neocon has a very lovely reflection on Updike, she obviously read more of him than I. She manages to compare him to one of my favorite authors, Nobokov, might be worth checking Updike for a second time.
