Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Rabbit at Rest is a 1990 novel by John Updike. It's the fourth and final novel in his series about Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, first introduced in Rabbit, Run in 1960.The story opens in late 1988. Harry, now in his mid-50s, is semi-retired, having left the family Toyota dealership to his son Nelson to run, while Harry and his wife Janice now spend their winters in Florida. Harry is bored, discontented with the life of a Florida retiree. He is also preoccupied with mortality, after suffering a heart attack while he was out sailing with his granddaughter Judy.When Harry and Janice return to Pennsylvania for the summer, they find the family in crisis. Nelson has an out-of-control addiction to cocaine, and has been embezzling funds from the dealership in order to feed his habit. Harry and Janice have to put him in a rehab facility. Meanwhile, Harry has to go in for an angioplasty after his heart attack. In the hospital he meets a nurse, Annabelle, who may be his illegitimate daughter by his old girlfriend Ruth.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Although this was the last book in the "Rabbit" series proper, Updike later wrote a novella called "Rabbit, Remembered", which appeared in short story collection Licks of Love, and carried on the story of the rest of the Angstrom clan ten years later. | |

All Take and No Give: Harry, or at least he's accused of this by Thelma's husband Ronnie. Harry and Thelma had an affair for years, and Ronnie says that what really bothers him was not that Harry was bonking his wife, but that Thelma loved Harry and he didn't really care about her outside of the sex. A defiant Harry says that Thelma was "a fantastic lay." | |
