Rabbit Redux
''Rabbit Redux'' is a 1971 novel by John Updike. It is the second book in his "Rabbit" series, beginning with ''Rabbit, Run'' and followed by ''Rabbit Is Rich'', ''Rabbit At Rest'', published from 1960 to 1990, and the related 2001 novella, ''Rabbit Remembered''.
== Plot summary ==
''Rabbit Redux'' finds former high-school basketball star Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom working a dead-end job (as a Linotype operator at the local printing plant). He is approaching middle age in the declining and fictional city of Brewer, Pennsylvania, the place of his birth. When his wife leaves him for another man, Harry and his thirteen-year-old son are at a loss. He encounters people and events reflecting the state of the nation circa 1969.
Updike's recurring themes of guilt, sex, and death are joined in ''Redux'' by racism. Harry plays host to Skeeter, a cynical, drug-dealing African-American Vietnam vet who engages him in debates about the war and race relations. Jill, a wealthy white teenager fleeing suburban Connecticut, enthralls both Harry and his son. The four of them make a scandalous household emblematic of the Summer of Love's most confusing implications. Jill dies in a house fire. Harry and his wife are reconciled at book's end. The plot refers to the background of the historic Apollo 11 moon landing.
