Corri, Coniglio by John Updike
A restless former high-school basketball star feels trapped in a small-town life and a loveless marriage, so he impulsively abandons his pregnant wife and young son to chase a fleeting sense of freedom and youthful identity; drifting into an affair and a series of ill-considered choices, he confronts the emotional fallout of his flight and the moral consequences for himself and those he leaves behind, while the novel examines midcentury American suburbia, masculinity, and the impossibility of simple escape.
