From the publication in 1958 of his first book, \u003ci\u003eThe Carpentered Hen and Other Tame Creatures\u003c/i\u003e, the American writer John Updike attracted an international readership. His books have been translated into twenty-three languages. He had a strong following in the United Kingdom, where his books were routinely reviewed in all the leading national newspapers. In Germany, France, Italy, and other countries too, his books were discussed in major publications.Although Updike died in 2009, interest in his writing remains strong among European scholars. They are active in the John Updike Society and on the \u003ci\u003eJohn Updike Review\u003c/i\u003e (which began publishing in 2011). During the past fourdecades, several Europeans have influenced the study of Updike worldwide. No recent volume, however, collects diverse European views on his oeuvre. The current book fills that void, presenting essays that perceive Updike's renditions of America through the eyes of scholar-readers from both Western and Eastern Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Contributors: Kasia Boddy, Teresa Botelho, Biljana Dojcinovic, Brian Duffy, Karin Ikas, Ulla Kriebernegg, Sylvie Mathé, Judie Newman, Sue Norton, Andrew Tate, Aristi Trendel, Eva-Sabine Zehelein.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Laurence W.
