Literary Legacies with Michael Updike
Artist and designer Michael Updike is well known throughout the North Shore for his art and sculpture. He is also the son of literary legend John Updike, whose letters were published last year in Selected Letters of John Updike, a more than 900-page collection edited by James Schiff. Hear from Michael about being John Updike’s son and Michael’s encounters with novelist Philip Roth, along with images from his collection. The New York Times Book Review critic Alexandra Jacobs, a lifelong Updike fan, will interview Michael about the book and his experience growing up Updike.
