Book synopsis

Henry Bech, the celebrated author of "Travel Light", has been scrutinized, canonized and vilified by critics and readers across the world. Here, the experiences of this bemused literary icon, one of Updike's greatest creations, are described in hilarious detail, as he travels the world struggling to break his writer's block; returns to his native America to find new success with "Think Big", his all-time blockbuster; and visits communist Czechoslovakia, where he is greeted by a dizzyingly adoring public. Brilliantly comic and deeply poignant, "The Complete Henry Bech" is one of the greatest of all explorations of the writing life and of what happens when a writer becomes a literary celebrity.
