""He is a religious writer; he is a comic realist; he knows whateverything feels like, how everything works. He is putting togethera body of work which in substantial intelligent creation willeventually be seen as second to none in our time."--William H.Pritchard, The Hudson Review, reviewing Museums and Women (1972)" Aharvest and not a winnowing, "The Early Stories" preserves almostall of the short fiction John Updike published between 1954 and1975. The stories are arranged in eight sections, of which thefirst, "Olinger Stories," already appeared as a paperback in 1964;in its introduction, Updike described Olinger, Pennsylvania, as "asquare mile of middle-class homes physically distinguished by abend in the central avenue that compels some side streets todeviate from the grid pattern." These eleven tales, whose heroesage from ten to over thirty but remain at heart Olinger boys, arefollowed by groupings titled "Out in the World," "Married Life,"and "Family Life," tracing a common American trajectory. Familylife is disrupted by the advent of "The Two Iseults," a bifurcationoriginating in another small town, Tarbox, Massachusetts, where thePuritan heritage co-exists with post-Christian morals. "TarboxTales" are followed by "Far Out," a group of more or lessexperimental fictions on the edge of domestic space, and "TheSingle Life," whose protagonists are unmarried and unmoored. Ofthese one hundred three stories, eighty first appeared in "The NewYorker, "and the other twenty-three in journals from the enduring"Atlantic Monthly" and "Harper's" to the defunct "Big Table "and"Transatlantic Review."
