Upon publication The New York Times praised Updike for his “artful and supple” style in his “tender and discerning study of the desperate and the hungering in our midst’s.” American novelist Joyce Carol Oates has written that Updike is “a master, like Flaubert, of mesmerizing us with his narrative voice even as he might repel us with the vanities of human desire his scalpel exposes.” Time magazine named Rabbit, Run as one of the 100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005.
