" Marry Me is superb, sharp, witty, perceptive, honest. . . . With keen intelligence, Updike has cut a slice of life the width of one town, the height of one feverish summer, the depth of four people trying to understand why their center does not hold-and turned it into a mirror of our modern popular wisdom."- Chicago Daily News "Updike's most mature work . . . His writing has deepened, grown wiser and funnier, like a face that is aging well." -The Atlantic "It is, quite simply, Updike's best novel yet." -Newsweek From the Trade Paperback edition., "Marry Me is superb, sharp, witty, perceptive, honest....

Synopsis
Mit dem vorliegenden Katalogband wird die Publikation der rundplastischen Idealskulpturen des Museo Gregoriano Profano zum Abschluss gebracht. Im Hauptteil des 172 Denkmaler umfassenden Kataloges werden die im Museum ausgestellten Skulpturen, die hellenistischen Vorbildern folgen, in ausfuhrlichen Katalogtexten vorgelegt.Ein zweiter Teil ist den magazinierten Skulpturen gewidmet, deren Bearbeitung erst durch einen Ende der neunziger Jahre des 20. Jahrhunderts erfolgten Umbau der vatikanischen Skulpturenmagazine moglich wurde. Der Katalog zielt darauf ab, die besprochenen Skulpturen nicht nur typologisch und chronologisch einzuordnen, sondern sie daruberhinaus als Elemente einer umfassenden romischen Bildsprache verstandlich zu machen., From one of the most gifted American writers of the twentieth century--and the author of the acclaimed Rabbit series: a novel set in 1962 in Greenwood, Connecticut, where Jerry Conant and Sally Mathias are in love and want to get married, though they already are married to others. A diadem of five symmetrical chapters describes the course of their affair as it flickers off and on, and as their spouses react, in a tentative late-summer atmosphere of almost-last chances. For this is, as Jerry observes, "the twilight of the old morality, and there's just enough to torment us, and not enough to hold us in.", "It is, quite simply, Updike's best novel yet." NEWSWEEK A deftly satirical portrait of life and love in a suburban town as only Updike can paint it.
