On this day, March 18, in 1932, John Updike was born in Reading, Pennsylvania. One of only three
novelist to win the Pulitzer Prize twice (the other two being Booth Tarkington and William Faulkner), he also wrote numerous short stories, poems and children’s books, and was both an art and literary critic. He had a long contributing relationship with The New Yorker and The New York Review of Books, but originally wanted to become a cartoonist. Well known for writing about the average small town American in crisis, he once described his writing style as an attempt “to give the mundane its beautiful due.” He died of lung cancer in 2009, at age 76.
