Seven volumes: 'Assorted Prose' (1965), 'Pick-Up Pieces' (1976), 'Hugging the Shore' (1983), 'Just Looking – Essays on Art' (1989), 'Odd Jobs' (1991, signed by the author), 'More Matter' (1999) and 'Due Considerations' (2007).
John Updike's collected non-fiction: essays, criticism, reviews, articles, parodies, speeches, travel pieces, obituaries, interviews, prefaces, notes, introductions, letters to and from, memoirs and profiles; twentieth century literature, art, obsessions and moments, all covered, along with many nods back to the artists and authors of earlier centuries.
The image from the rear panel of 'Hugging the Shore', adjacent, gives some idea of one of the author's nets.
