Updike Published

Famous quotes containing the words updike and/or published:

    Flick stands tall among the idiot pumps—
    Five on a side, the old bubble-head style,
    Their rubber elbows hanging loose and low.
    —John Updike (b. 1932)

    I saw the best minds of my generation
    Reading their poems to Vassar girls,
    Being interviewed by Mademoiselle.
    Having their publicity handled by professionals.
    When can I go into an editorial office
    And have my stuff published because I’m weird?
    I could go on writing like this forever . . .
    Louis Simpson (b. 1923)
