A final collection of John Updike's poetry and his first collection of new short fiction since 2000 are both due to be published later this year, his publishers have announced. Updike died aged 76 on 27 January 2009, leaving behind more than 50 books written over a career spanning half a century.
His short story collection, My Father's Tears, will be published this summer in the US and the UK. In it Updike returns to his childhood haunts in Pennsylvania with the perspective of old age, as well as considering his travels to Morocco, Florida, Spain, Italy and India, as well as the New England suburbia of his later life.
