About this product

Product Information

"John Updike is the great genial sorcerer of American letters and] The Witches of Eastwick is one of his] most ambitious works. . . . A] comedy of the blackest sort."-- The New York Times Book Review Toward the end of the Vietnam era, in a snug little Rhode Island seacoast town, wonderful powers have descended upon Alexandra, Jane, and Sukie, bewitching divorc es with sudden access to all that is female, fecund, and mysterious. Alexandra, a sculptor, summons thunderstorms; Jane, a cellist, floats on the air; and Sukie, the local gossip columnist, turns milk into cream. Their happy little coven takes on new, malignant life when a dark and moneyed stranger, Darryl Van Horne, refurbishes the long-derelict Lenox mansion and invites them in to play. Thenceforth scandal flits through the darkening, crooked streets of Eastwick--and through the even darker fantasies of the town's collective psyche. "A great deal of fun to read . . . fresh, constantly entertaining . . . John Updike is] a wizard of language and observation."-- The Philadelphia Inquirer "Vintage Updike, which is to say among the best fiction we have."-- Newsday

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

    The Movie is Better

    I like Updike's beautiful use of prose, but there have been several instances where the female characters feel like they've been awkwardly written by a man attempting to have a female perspective. I've watched the movie, "Witches of Eastwick," and I feel it does a better job portraying women and speaking with a feminine voice. This is definitely a case where the movie is surprisingly better than the book; I'll re-watch the movie but probably won't re-read the novel. Other than that, it was an entertaining read.

    Interesting and challenging

    While reading the novel, it is easy to envision the movie. Updike's vocabulary can be a little challenging at times . . . having a dictionary handy is never a bad idea.
