Rabbit Redux a sequel of Rabbit Run by John Updike
A critical take on Rabbit Redux continues Harry Angstrom’s disillusion in a late sixties America. The review traces his failed attempts at meaning amid a crumbling Penn Villa scene with drugs sex and social decay. It contrasts the earlier Rabbit Run with this installment and notes Updike’s satiric wit and bleak vision of consumer culture and technological obsession.

The Goodbye People and The Professional review notes
A mixed critical take on Gavin Lambert’s The Goodbye People and James David Buchanan’s The Professional. The Goodbye People is praised for witty epigrams and moral questions about loneliness, while The Professional is critiqued as a cold, jargon heavy thriller with an antihero spy and a bleak view of state power. The reviewer questions plot clarity and reader engagement, yet acknowledges sharp satire in places.

The most ignoble trade book review panel remarks
A critical discussion of Oliver Ransford's The Slave Trade, examining its advocacy of highlighting Western Europe's Atlantic slave trade. The piece notes Ransford, a physician, draws on 30 years of African experience to present the brutal history, including 14 to 20 million enslaved and 14 million deaths from wars and hardship. It cites historical figures, locations, and publications, contrasting estimates and emphasizing slavery as a profound moral evil.
