' Drinking a toast to the visible world, his impending disappearance from it be damned. ' That s how John Updike describes one of his elderly protagonists in this, his final collection of short stories. He might have been writing about himself. In 'My Father s Tears, ' the author revisits his signature characters, places, and themes Americans in suburbs, cities, and small towns grappling with faith and infidelity in a gallery of portraits of his aging generation, men and women for whom making peace with the past is now paramount. 'The Seattle Times' called 'My Father s Tears' a haunting collection that echoes the melancholy of Chekhov, the romanticism of Wordsworth and the mournful spirit of Yeats. '
