Episode 10
After Pru鈥檚 confession, Harry hits the highway once again, heading to Florida to wait for his family to pursue him there. But it鈥檚 too late for forgiveness - or is it?
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.
