In an interview, Updike once said, 'If I had to give anybody one book of me, it would be the Olinger Stories. ' These stories were originally published in The New Yorker and then in various collections before Vintage first put them together in one volume in 1964, as a paperback original. They follow the life of one character from the age of ten through manhood, in the small Pennsylvania town of Olinger (pronounced, according to Updike, with a long O and a hard G), which was loosely based on Updike's own hometown. 'All the stories draw from the same autobiographical well, ' Updike explained, 'the only child, the small town, the grandparental home, the move in adolescence to a farm. ' The selection was made and arranged by Updike himself, and was prefaced by a lovely 1, 400-word essay by the author that has never been reprinted in full elsewhere until now.
