Literatur #57: John Updike – Hasenherz (Rabbit, Run)
John Updike zählt zu den wichtigsten US-amerikanischen Schriftstellern des 20. Jahrhunderts. Den Literaturnobelpreis erhielt er nie, aber die Literaturkritik in Amerika wie auch in Deutschland liebte diesen Autor, der wie kaum ein anderer die amerikanische Mittelklasse mit den Mitteln eines Realismus beschrieb, der auf Genauigkeit und originelle Vergleiche setzt. Mit „Hasenherz“ („Rabbit, Run“) von 1960 beginnt eine Romanreihe, die Updike fast ein halbes Jahrhundert lang fortsetzte: Im Mittelpunkt steht der Protagonist Harry „Rabbit“ Angstrom, der an der Schule einst ein gefeierter Basketballspieler war, jetzt aber im Leben als Angestellter – er verkauft inzwischen Küchengeräte – und verheirateter Mann mit seiner Situation so sehr h...

John Updike – Hasenherz „Rabbit, run" | Lesetipp von Cheon Myeong-kwan
Es ist bereits unglaubliche 63 Jahre her, dass mit „Rabbit, run“ („Hasenherz“) der erste Band der fünfteiligen und überaus erfolgreichen Romanserie von John Updike erschien. Darin erzählte Updike von Harry „Rabbit“ Angstrom, der einst auf der High School ein Basketball-Star war, als Erwachsener aber ein nurmehr mittelmäßiges Leben fristet. Er arbeitet als Verkäufer und ist verheiratet mit der alkoholabhängigen Janice. Der koreanische Autor und Regisseur Cheon Myeong-kwan las „Rabbit, run“ mit 18 Jahren. Der Roman wurde eine seiner prägendsten Lektüren, wie er auf SWR2 erklärt. Cheons eigener Roman „Der Wal“ war dieses Jahr nominiert für den International Booker P...

John Updike: Dreams from My Mother
John Updike used his unique literary talents to peel back the layers of middle-class American life, exposing its less-than-placid exterior.
