The Same Door by John Updike Andre

Description

Here we have a first UK edition hardback book of short stories titled "The Same Door" by John Updike, published by Andre Deutsch in 1962.

In these sixteen crystalline stories John Updike takes ordinary situations - a teenager trying to impress his girl friend, a man in a rush-hour bus attracted by two beautiful women, a Greenwich Village dinner party for three, two old college buddies’ reunion, martial in-fighting - and makes you feel involved, in the aggression, the lust and the bitterness; in the frustration and the agony, say, of old age drawn to youth, or in the sadness of a botched job or a withered friendship.

This collectable addition with its beautifully vibrant dust jacket is a valuable addition to any book lover's collection, especially for fans of John Updike's work.
