The Princeton Alumni Book Club will meet on Monday, January 19, 2026, at 7:30 p.m., to discuss John Updike's Rabbit, Run, (1996, 336 pages).  The reviewer for Lit & Leisure noted that, although Rabbit is "not a likable character," the novel "put Updike on the map, in  literary sense" and praised "its exploration of sex, gender, socioeconomic class, and ... marriage, [and] provides rich commentary about society as well as expectation surrounding the home, family, extended family relationships, and even religion."   Princeton alumni may be interested knowing that the New York Times reviewer of Updike's recently published Selected Letters noted that he "kept an animus against Princeton ... for denying him admission."
