About This Novel
"Catman" is an important work that established Updike's reputation as a master. For this work, he won the National Book Award for the first time. It is also one of the most artistic masterpieces among all his works. The story of "Catman" is not complicated. It tells the story of a father's love for his son. But this is a work of great emotional strength. This father's love is written in the novel in a profound and tragic way. This book almost reminds us to pay attention to two points: one is the extraordinary theme contained in the weird image of the horseman, and the other is the perfect combination of theme and expression. It interweaves myth and reality, has both symbolic meaning and beauty, and the sharpness and cruelty of reality. It tells a story of father and son, love and sacrifice beautifully, profoundly and touchingly in the way of surrealism and cubism painting. An out-and-out "masterpiece".
