These books were all later collected in The Complete Henry Bech (2001),[1] which also included the short story His Oeuvre (2000). While Updike generally concerns himself with WASP culture, is married, and is prolific, Bech is apathetically Jewish, a bachelor (later a husband and stepfather for a time, and finally a father in old age), and unprolific. In the introduction to his first collection, the eponymous author speculates he is modeled in part after many other famous writers, including Norman Mailer, Bernard Malamud, J.D. Salinger and Updike himself. ^ "John Updike: 1932-2009," San Francisco Chronicle online, Link Rabbit novels Short story collections Retrieved from "https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Henry_Bech&oldid=640386258" This page was last edited on 31 December 2014, at 14:34 (UTC).
