Updike, Coffee, Dickinson
John Updike tells Kurt Andersen why he left his familiar terrain of middle-class sex and angst for the lure of violent fundamentalism. Chris Anderson, author of The Long Tail, explains why the internet is changing the marketplace of culture for the better. In our American Icons series, we’ll explore the timeless appeal of Emily Dickinson, who liked to write from beyond the grave.
