Of the Farm

Of the Farm

John Updike
3.5/5 ( ratings)
In this short novel, Joey Robinson, a thirty-five-year-old New Yorker, describes a visit he makes, with his second wife and eleven-year-old stepson, to the Pennsylvania farm where he grew up and where his aging mother now lives alone. For three days, a quartet of voices explores the air, making confessions, seeking alignments, quarreling, pleading, and pardoning. They are not entirely alone: ghosts press upon them, as do phantoms from the near future . Of the Farm concerns the places people choose to live their lives, and the strategies they use to stand their ground.
