Episode 7
Harry goes into hospital for his angioplasty procedure while, with the help of an old friend, Janice investigates the extent of Nelsonβs debts at Springer Motors.
John Updikeβs fourth novel about Harry βRabbitβ 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 Reaganβs 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.
