Stefan Beck, who blogs at The New Criterion website, likes John Updike’s final collection of short stories (which just came out).
Money quote:
The posthumous collection My Father’s Tears reminds us of one wonderful thing about Updike: Practically any example illustrates the point that he rarely missed his mark. Seventeen of these 18 stories are late Updike, written during the past decade, but, with a handful of exceptions, they show no signs of a flagging talent.
