The Complete Henry Bech by John Updike
A collection of interlinked stories chronicling a curmaceous, often irritable but oddly resilient American novelist whose misadventures in love, fame, work and aging are recounted with dry, self-mocking humor; the pieces follow his uneasy relationship to the literary world, war and mortality while satirizing the ambitions and vanities of writers and readers alike.
