The collection features Henry Bech, John Updike's humorous alter-ego, who has entertained readers with his artistic indecision and vibrant sexuality since his debut in The New Yorker. These stories provide a playful yet affectionate exploration of a notoriously unproductive Jewish-American writer, showcasing Updike's signature wit and lyrical style. Included is a final story, "His Oeuvre," which serves as a fitting conclusion to Bech's literary journey, highlighting the charm and depth of this beloved character.
