One minute Updike's protagonist (Ben) is describing in great detail his wife's front garden and every flower in it, the next he's describing his erect penis, or his obsession with the breasts of a young woman to the reader. Then, we're off playing golf.

I haven't checked reviews of this one yet (going in blind) - so I knew nothing about it. I bet it has mixed reviews, even though I am loving this work - what an author!!

Really enjoying this.
