"The first one-volume hardcover edition of the eleven autobiographical stories that were closest to Updike's heart. With full-cloth binding and a silk ribbon marker. EVERYMAN'S POCKET CLASSICS. In an interview, Updike once said, "If I had to give anybody one book of me, it would be the Olinger Stories." These stories were originally published in The New Yorker and then in various collections before Vintage first put them together in one volume in 1964, as a paperback original. They follow the life of one character from the age of ten through manhood, in the small Pennsylvania town of Olinger (pronounced, according to Updike, with a long O and a hard G), which was loosely based on Updike's own hometown. "All the stories draw from the same autobiographical well," Updike explained, "the only child, the small town, the grandparental home, the move in adolescence to a farm." The selection was made and arranged by Updike himself, and was prefaced by a lovely 1,400-word essay by the author that has never been reprinted in full elsewhere until now. "--

Young Updike, but Updike just the same, his prose so insistently articulate that the characters and stories themselves wilt in the face of it. The best pieces are those where story and voice don't have to compete, such as The blessed man of Boston, my grandmother's thimble, and Fanning Island: "It is a simple story, a story of life stripped of the progenitive illusion, perfected out of history: the slam of a door in an empty house."

Three of these stories are from my collection The Same Door; seven are from Pigeon Feathers and Other Stories; and one, the last, has not previously been included in any book. ("Foreword")

Now I peek into windows and open doors and do not find that air of permission. It has fled the world. Girls walk by me carrying their invisible bouquets from fields still steeped in grace, and I look up in the manner of one who follows with his eyes the passage of a hearse, and remembers what pierces him. ("In Football Season")
