5.0 out of 5 stars Friends From Philadelphia, Jan 11 2011
By Spider Monkey - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: FRIENDS FROM PHILADELPHIA AND OTHER STORIES (PENGUIN 60S) (Paperback)
If you have wondered what John Updike's style of writing is like and wish to dip your toes into the delights of his sharp, adept prose, then this may well be a good place to start. This is a short anthology with five of his short stories and instantly I was drawn into his writing and the emotions he imparts so well. These reminded me, in part, of the short stories of Richard Yates in `Eleven Kinds of Loneliness' and I would say if you enjoy one author, then it is a reasonable bet you will like the other. There is something almost deliciously sad about the stories on offer and I can imagine myself reading them again during the autumn in that half light of evening, the stories here make you feel that way. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this short book and now I have whetted my appetite I will most definitely be trying some more. I only wish I was still in touch with a long gone, dear friend of mine so I could share that sense of delight I feel when finding a new, wonderful author.

Feel free to check out my blog which can be found on my profile page.
