John Updike, 1932 – 2009

While I have not read a great deal of Updike’s work, and while that which I have read didn’t particularly do anything for me, I was still sad to hear about the death of a literary giant from lung cancer yesterday.

Obituaries and tributes can be found in The Guardian, The Independent, The New York Times, and the BBC.
