One of only three authors to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction more than once, John Updike (1932-2009) set his most famous novels, called the Rabbit series, in a middle-American, small-town world modeled after his the places where he grew up in Berks County, Pennsylvania. Updike was a prolific writer of poetry, art and literary criticism, and reviews, as well as fiction.
