Summary
The story of the black dictator Ellellou who rules the imaginary African country of Kush (formerly known as the French colony Noire). Educated in America, Ellellou reminisces about his earlier, more carefree life in Wisconsin with considerable longing now that a drought has descended upon Kush and he finds his own power in jeopardy. For all its overt difference from the circumstances of his own life, Updike has said that THE COUP is "autobiography thinly disguised."

Media Reviews
"Ellellou himself is an extraordinary tour-de-force of a character....What a rich, surprising, and often funny novel 'The Coup' is." -- Robert Towers
-- New York Times Book Review
"The fact is that Updike's sentences can be read with the pleasure that poetry can, and the fingers are more than enough to count the novelists of whom such a thing can be said." -- Alastair Reid
-- New Yorker
"An Updike sentence always has been easily identifiable by its poetic flare-a combination of a full vocabulary and an intense sensuality." -- Peter Lasalle
-- America

Knopf. Very Good in Good+ dust jacket. 1978. Book Club Edition. Hardcover. 039450268X . States First Edition. ; 1.22 x 8.64 x 5.92 Inches; John Updike is one of America's most versatile men of letters. His characterization of Rabbit Angstrom in RABBIT RUN, RABBIT REDUX and RABBIT IS RICH has made the author richer than Rabbit. <P>But in THE COUP, Updike dissects a modern African state called Kush. Narrated tongue-in-cheek by Kush's exiled president, Colonel Felix Ellellou, Updike proves he is an equal opportunity employer when it comes to slicing up bunkum, whether black or white, first world or third. .
