	'Rabbit Redux' - New York Times
		When I began this book and found Rabbit Angstrom 10 years older, fatter, softer, settled and no longer even running as he was in the earlier version, I wondered why Updike had locked himself in with this loser, why he had given himself so little elbow room.
		Rabbit's acerbic old mother -- "having the adventure now we're all going to have," as his father puts it -- is full of feisty last words from the rim of the grave.
		In "Rabbit Redux," Updike's ear is perfect and he has finally put together in his prose all the things that were there only separately.

		But rabbit does differ from most of us - he is not held back by any qaulms and does the unthinkable: leaving his 7 month pregnant wife and their 3 year old son.
		Rabbit is just a magnet to circumstantial amd emotional chaos even though in the end he always eludes unharmed.
		Rabbit, a man who once was a first-rate basketball player, in the beginning of his mature life becomes an apprehensive son, indifferent father, inattentive husband, lustful but callous lover.

		In 1984, VW killed the Rabbit and renamed it the Golf, the label the car had all along in Europe.

	This Rabbit has punch - The Boston Globe
		The Rabbit was replaced by the oddly named Golf, which nonetheless became a huge seller.
		When base models of Rabbit competitors pack 200 or more horsepower, that's a bridge too far for most tuners to cross as they seek higher power boosts.
		Yet this Rabbit is far more powerful than any of its predecessors and will offer an estimated 25 miles per gallon.

	JOYCE CAROL OATES: JOHN UPDIKE'S RABBIT AT REST
		Rabbit thinks, with typical Rabbit crudeness, "You wonder if we haven't gone overboard in catering to cripples." A former mistress of Rabbit's named Thelma (see Rabbit Is Rich) reappears in these pages as a lupus sufferer, soon to die, not very gallantly described, when they kiss, as smelling faintly of urine.
		Rabbit, who knows little of any culture but his own, and that a culture severely circumscribed by television, is passionately convinced that "all in all this is the happiest.
		In Rabbit at Rest, an extreme of sorts, even for Rabbit, is achieved when, at Thelma's very funeral, he tells the dead woman's grieving husband that "she was a fantastic lay." Near the end of the novel, it is suggested that Rabbit's misogyny was caused by his mother!

		In RABBIT REDUX (1971), John Updike's poignant sequel to RABBIT, RUN, he explores the tumultuous transformations of the late'60s as they affect the traditional American values on which Harry Rabbit Angstrom--like so many other Americans--believes his life is based.
		But, in the course of the novel, Rabbit sees his life unravel: his wife, Janice, is having an affair with her boss; his mother is dying; his relationship with his son, Nelson, turns tense; and the rapidly changing world around him becomes incomprehensible.
		Instead, she looks closely at the forces shaping Rabbit's gender identity as well as at the ways he experiences masculinity and the ways his gender identity affects his personal and spiritual development, his relationships, and, ultimately, his society.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Books: Rabbit at Rest, by John Updike, Paperback, Reprinted Edition
		Harry ``Rabbit'' Angstrom, morbidly depressed, overweight and living with wife Janice in a Florida retirement community, recovers from a heart attack and is led astray by his libido one last time.
		Rabbit at Rest focuses on the state of America under George Bush, Rabbit's relationship with his son, Nelson,(a product of the 70s that Rabbit has never, and will never understand), and his continual search to find something in life that made him feel as important as he was as a high school basketball star.
		Rabbit at Rest is the densest of the Rabbit novels, and the writing style probably the most ornate.

	The Straight Dope: What was the deal with Jimmy Carter and the killer rabbit?

		The Secret Service having been caught flatfooted--I'll grant you an amphibious rabbit assault is a tough thing to defend against--the president did what he could to protect himself.
		Some ventured the opinion that rabbits couldn't swim, didn't attack people, and sure weren't about to take on a sitting president, even if it was Jimmy Carter.

	Rabbit Redux, Constant Reader Discussion
		A liberated Rabbit Angstrom loses his wife to a hotshot used car salesman dripping with Vitalis and acquires a menage that includes his teenage son, a spaced-out white chick, and an evangelical fl man. Rabbit lives a life that is bent, a normal life refracted in a funhouse mirror.
		Rabbit is sufficiently agitated to seek out some pretty extreme experiences (I'm trying to avoid spoiling), but he sleepwalks through them with a sort of deadness, a detachment.

		This choice of residences turned out to be a problem for our rabbit, because almost all of the sagebrush country of the Columbia Basin has been converted to agriculture or severely degraded.
		As the pygmy rabbit population dwindled toward oblivion, biologists employed a last-ditch tactic: they gathered up the remaining wild critters and began breeding them in captivity.
		So while each of the rabbits being released is at least 75 percent Columbia Basin stock, the pure bred species no longer exists (save for 3 still in captivity).

		But a diesel Rabbit isn't slated until at least 2009, and the company admits its absence is a frustration.
		And VW officials are confident that without diesel, the Rabbit will still out-sell the Golf because of such standard features as remote entry, air conditioning, cruise control, heated mirrors and power windows.
		The Rabbit has the rounder headlamps and taillamps and more steeply raked windshield that first appeared on the 2006 Jetta, but with its upright stance and two-box shape, the Golf lineage is unmistakable.

	LMT Tech Resource Store: Books : Rabbit Redux
		Harry Angstrom--known to all as Rabbit, one of America's most famous literary characters--finds his dreary life shattered by the infidelity of his wife, Janice.
		Rather, Updike merely considers Rabbit without passing judgment, and in his contemplation of this egotistic man, he is doing what Rabbit wants, that is, placing him at the center of the world.
		Certainly looking at how much larger Rabbit Redux is compared to the first book, I figured there would be loads of excess in addition to the main story.

	Updike and Rabbit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Rabbit Redux (1971), however, seems to slip a little due to the forced insertion of the late 60s and early 70s.
		Rabbit's actions are forced into the 60s milieu--which is really what Updike is writing about--and the characters are somewhat formulaically manipulated to fit in to an exposition on the cultural upheaval.
		Rabbit is Rich (1981) relates a consistent version of Rabbit most effectively to his time, while "Rabbit Remembered" (2001) does so least effectively, and especially strains over Y2K concerns.

		Rabbit is home alone with his son Nelson, and for awhile things remain that way, until a fl co-worker invites Rabbit to come along to a bar.
		The work is an important pinnacle of the Rabbit tetralogy in that it captures the mood of a decade, and thereby manages to commingle perfectly with the next two Rabbit books, which focus far more extensively on the times during which they were written.
		Rabbit Redux is important to the Rabbit series in that it serves as a transition from character study to a study of an era, but in each different case, there is that one singular constant: Rabbit Angstrom, himself.

		The way that the narrative follows Rabbit's stream of consciousness is particularly clever, with odd perceptions of things in the world around him, such as the way the back of the car lot makes him think of Paraguay.
		Rabbit's internal life, rather than providing insight into his behaviour, is rendendered in minute detail without telling you anything.
		True, the life of Harry 'Rabbit' Angstrom is sometimes humdrum and his actions often of dubious morality, but Updike treats his hero with such humanity that it's impossible not to feel some sort of sympathy towards him; many writers have indeed admitted a sneaking admiration for the character.
