It's 1979 and Rabbit is no longer running. He's walking, and beginning to get out of breath. That's ok, though - it gives him the chance to enjoy the wealth that comes with middle age. It's all in place: he's Chief Sales Representative and co-owner of Springer motors; his wife, at home or in the club, is keeping trim; he wears good suits, and the cash is pouring in. So why is it that he finds it so hard to accept the way that things have turned out? And why, when he looks at his family, is he haunted by regrets about all those lives he'll never live?

作者简介

约翰·厄普代克，集小说家、诗人、剧作家、散文家和评论家于一身的美国当代文学大师，作品两获普利策奖、两获国家图书奖以及欧·亨利奖等十数次奖项。“性爱、宗教和艺术”是厄普代克毕生追求的创作目标，“美国人、基督徒、小城镇和中产阶级”则是厄普代克独擅胜场的创作主题，他由此成为当之无愧的美国当代中产阶级的灵魂画师。他最著名的代表作“兔子四部曲”历时三十年写就，四部小说紧密贯通，似一气呵成，每一部又可单独成篇，共塑造了约一百五十个大小不等的鲜活人物，成为全面展示美国中产阶级生活图景、深刻探索美国中产阶级灵魂现状和救赎的史诗性巨著。
