A middle-aged American newspaperman decides to sell his business and move to Florence, sparking a series of encounters that bring him face to face with dreams deferred and hopes unbidden. William Dean Howells’s classic comedy of errors is a pitch-perfect story of romantic confusions that surprises and delights. “Again and again in Indian Summer,” writes John Updike in his illuminating introduction, first published in 1990, “the felicity of the writing makes us pause in admiration.”

John Updike was the author of more than sixty books, including collections of short stories, poems, and criticism. His novels have been honored with the Pulitzer Prize (twice), the National Book Award, and the Howells Medal of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Hugging the Shore, a collection of essays and reviews, received the National Book Critics Circle Award for criticism. He died in January 2009.
