Re-reading the biography of America’s
preeminent man of letters, Adam Begley’s
UPDIKE, I marveled even more the
second time at John Hoyer Updike’s
writerly accomplishments, which pulled
at me like a siren call to the infernal
depths of writer envy, but I kept myself
from falling as I valued the worth of my
humble life, examining the trajectory
of my own writerly way into the center
of life experience that every writer seeks
but cannot find, and the anguish left my
troubled heart and was replaced with a
gratifying joy for John Hoyer Updike’s
Nobel prize-worthy talent.
