John Updike, the American poet, novelist, short story writer and a literary critic has died of Lung Cancer. He battled with this disease but was all the while quiet in public, it was on January 27 that he lost this battle. He was 76. He is particularly famous for his Rabbit series among which are included: Rabbit Run, Rabbit Redux, Rabbit Is Rich, Rabbit At Rest and Rabbit Remembered.
He was a religious man with a shy and modest nature. He was living in Beverly Farms, Massachusetts with his second wife. Only a few weeks ago, he told an interviewer that he had no intentions of retiring and was just "showing signs of mental deteoriation" (as quoted by Telegraph).
