Book summaryIn John Updike's 15th novel (published in 1996), Alfred Clayton, a history professor at a junior college, in the course of writing about the brief administration of President Ford, ponders his own personal history. While Ford was president, Alf's marriage was failing, and he was caught up in a doomed love affair. He was also writing a book on the presidency of James Buchanan. Updike shuttles between the worlds of Clayton and Buchanan in a novel that illuminates his views of American manners, morals, and politics. |
