@CarlRobertAnd @matthunte Yes. But also complacency of early Updike is gone. 1970s/1980s work much more troubled.
@HeerJeet @matthunte What is complacent, exactly? The prose, the subject matter?
@CarlRobertAnd @matthunte I'd say dominant mood of early Updike is gratitude for his blessed life & gifts. Can get cloying.
