John Updikes's Pigeon Feather

…

…just a book of very brilliant short stories; it is a demonstration of how the most gifted writer of his generation is coming to maturity; it shows us that Mr. Updike's fine verbal talent is no longer pirouetting, however gracefully, out of a simple delight in motion, but is beginning to serve his deepest insight, that his "Love's Labor's Lost" and even his "Romeo and Juliet" (that is "Rabbit, Run") are now behind him.
