Hi, R. John Updike is a stong contender and long overdue. His novels BRAZIL
and THE COUP prove that he's much more than a chronicler of US suburbia. His
great story about 9/11 "Varieties of Religious Experience" is a must read.
And his Pulizer-winning story collection THE EARLY STORIES is also excellent.
A long time ago JCO noted in a review piece that one ought to be "grateful"
for anthing Updike writes. I heartily second that!
