Episode 4 of 10

Janice has it out with Nelson and discovers he is in serious debt, threatening her own fortune. Following the sailing accident, they make an excruciating hospital visit.

John Updike鈥檚 fourth novel about Harry 鈥淩abbit鈥 Angstrom.

It's the end of the 1980s and Harry has acquired a Florida condo, a second grandchild, and a troubled, overworked heart - not to mention a troubled underworking son. As Reagan鈥檚 debt-ridden, AIDS-panicked America yields to that of the first George Bush, Rabbit explores the bleak terrain of late middle age - looking for reasons to live and opportunities to make peace with a remorselessly accumulating past.

The novel won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1991, the second "Rabbit" novel to garner that award.
