Il Ritorno Di Coniglio by John Updike

Set during the social upheaval of the late 1960s, the novel follows a restless, middle-aged former high-school star who, bored with suburban routine, drifts into an ill-fitting embrace of the era’s counterculture—forming an unlikely household with a charismatic young Black man and a disaffected teenage girl—while his marriage and sense of self fray under the pressures of sex, drugs, race and generational change; it is a keen, melancholic portrait of personal dislocation and the fraying American dream.
