JOHN UPDIKE
He signs a typed quote from an interview he gave in 1989, which includes this remark: "Whenever the American government starts to directly subsidize the arts, I think you're in trouble."
Typed Quotation signed: "John Updike", 1 page, 8½x11. Excerpt from an interview he gave the "Washington Post", 1989 November 15. "Whenever the American government starts to directly subsidize the arts, I think you're in trouble. I'm not sure the entire disappearance of the NEA [National Endowment for the Arts] would be a terrible loss. I don't think ours is a bad government, but I think with this one and this democracy, there are going to be repercussions often. I'd rather not feel the government looking over my shoulder." Novelist and short story writer John 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).
