"A triumph of love & art."--The Washington Post
In a small Pennsylvania town in the late 1940s, schoolteacher George Caldwell yearns to find some meaning in his life. Alone with his teenage son for three days in a blizzard, Caldwell sees his son grow & change as he himself begins to lose touch with his life. Interwoven with the myth of Chiron, the noblest centaur, & his relationship to the Titan Prometheus, "The Centaur" is one of Updike's most brilliant novels.--From the Paperback edition.
