Updike agrees to provisions for an appearance on the Today show. In the year he signed this document, Updike published Just Looking, his first book on art, which featured drawings and essays, and Self-Consciousness: Memoirs, and he was awarded the National Medal of Arts. Ten years earlier, NBC had aired the made-for-TV movie, Too Far To Go, which was based on Updike's short stories. Novelist and short story writer John Hoyer Updike (1932-2009), whose novels focus on the tensions of middle-class American life, won Pulitzer Prizes in 1982 and 1991 for Rabbit is Rich (1981) and Rabbit at Rest (1990), sequels to his 1960 novel, Rabbit, Run. A longtime contributor to "The New Yorker" and the writer of some 30 novels and short story collections, Updike's other works include The Couples (1968) and The Witches of Eastwick (1984). Writing at lower margin (unknown hand). Slightly creased. Black marks from photocopying at upper margin, lightly soiled at lower right blank edge. Fine condition.
