      The Panopticon: John Updike’s Apartment Stories

      Mar 9, 2018

      Has there, in American letters, at least, ever been a better noticer than John Updike?  By “noticer,” I don’t mean “writer of detail,” exactly.  There are many writers whose use of detail I find more narratively effective:  Saul Bellow, Joan Didion,

      This author is so good at weaving a story and getting the reader immersed in the setting and characters. This short story is a rather unique one about some mental patients in an institution experiencing some unusual developments. Given the author's personal struggles with his mental illness I wonder how much of the story was taken from his own experiences. I enjoyed the story and its happy ending.
