		Updike, now 74, white-haired, bushy-browed and senatorial-looking, also risked suspicion by lingering around the luggage-screening machines at La Guardia Airport, where he learned that the X-rays were not in fl and white, as he had imagined, but rather in lurid colors: acid green and red.
		But Updike, the much-honored 74-year-old author of dozens of volumes of fiction, poetry, essays and criticism, said that would be "immodest." Instead, he praised the assembled booksellers as "the salt of the book world" and reminisced for a while about bookstores he had loved in his youth.
		Updike is still enormously productive--this past two years has been nothing short of phenomenal in his output, but for the time being any serious scholar, student, or interested reader of Updike will find this book simply indispensable.
