About this product
Product Information
The Poorhouse Fair, John Updike's first novel, was written in 1957 and published in January of 1959. For this, its sixth printing, the author has appended an introduction discussing the book's inspiration, its aesthetic sources and models in classics of science fiction, and the way in which its future (projected to be about 1977) compares with the present. The Poorhouse Fair was hailed at the time of its publication as "a rare and beautiful achievement" and "a work of intellectual imagination and great charity." Though its future has degenerated into our present, and Updike's later work is better known, such critics as Henry Bech have hailed this little novel as, still, "surely his masterpiece."

Reviews
"A first novel of rare precision and real merit . . . a rich poorhouse indeed." --Newsweek "Turning on a narrow plot of ground, it achieves the rarity of bounded, native truth, and comes forth as microcosm." --Commonweal "Brilliant . . . Here is the conflict of real ideas; of real personalities; here is a work of intellectual imagination and great charity. The Poorhouse Fair is a work of art." -- The New York Times Book Review

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!
