Rabbit Remembered

Satisfactory epilogue to the series. It does struggle to justify its existence at times since Anabelle isn't a fascinating character. For the most part, Updike is really providing an update on what's happened in the area since Rabbit's death, e.g., what happened to Charlie Stavros and Springer Motors. Still, the ending is good, and I always enjoy how he interweaves cultural and political discussions of their time into the stories. In this one, it happens to be a heated Thanksgiving debate on the Clintons or American Beauty. Have to agree with Pru's thoughts on the latter btw.
