S. is Sarah Worth -- doctor's wife, North Shore matron, loving
mother, and now (suddenly!) ardent follower of a Hindu religious
leader known as the Arhat. As this brilliant and very funny novel
opens, Sarah is fleeing the confinement of her suburban life to
become a sannyasin (pilgrim) at her guru's Arizona ashram.In the
letters and audiocassettes that Sarah sends to her husband, daughter,
mother, brother, best friend -- to her psychiatrist and her
hairdresser and her dentist -- master novelist John Updike gives us a
witty comedy of manners, a biting satire of life on a religious
commune, and the story -- deep and true -- of an American woman in
search of herself.From the Trade Paperback edition.
