ISBN: 9780449912256.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen this classic collection of stories first appeared—in 1962, on the author’s thirtieth birthday—Arthur Mizener wrote in The New York Times Book Review: “Updike is a romantic [and] like all American romantics, that is, he has an irresistible impulse to go in memory home again in order to find himself. . . . The precise recollection of his own family-love, parental and marital, is vital to him; it is the matter in which the saving truth is incarnate. . . . Pigeon Feathers is not just a book of very brilliant short stories; it is a demonstration of how the most gifted writer of his generation is coming to maturity; it shows us that Mr. Updike’s fine verbal talent is no longer pirouetting, however gracefully, out of a simple delight in motion, but is beginning to serve his deepest insight.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Random House Trade Paperbacks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44945316085813,"sku":"ByrdShop_0449912256","price":27.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780449912256_d8e73767-5c45-435a-80f7-883794905589.jpg?v=1778915280","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/pigeon-feathers-and-other-stories-9780449912256","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
