Farewell John Updike

[pioneer]

Renowned US novelist John Updike has died at the age of 76, his publisher has announced. He had been suffering from lung cancer.

Updike won many top literary prizes, including Pulitzers for two volumes of his famous Rabbit series.

In about 50 books over half a century, he chronicled sex, divorce and other aspects of life in post-war America.

He once told an interviewer that his subject was "the American small town, Protestant middle class". - BBC

I found out about this just recently. We lost a great writer.

A beautiful mind.
