Its hero is Harry “Rabbit” Angstrom, a onetime high-school basketball star who on an impulse deserts his wife and son. He is twenty-six years old, a man-child caught in a struggle between instinct and thought, self and society, sexual gratification and family duty—even, in a sense, human hard-heartedness and divine Grace. Though his flight from home traces a zigzag of evasion, he holds to the faith that he is on the right path, an invisible line toward his own salvation as straight as a ruler’s edge.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Woolly Bear Books and Gifts","offers":[{"title":"Paperback.","offer_id":56036825333926,"sku":"9780449911655","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/4637\/7638\/files\/9780449911655.jpg?v=1766090232","url":"https:\/\/woollybearbooks.com\/products\/rabbit-run-by-john-updyke","provider":"Woolly Bear Books and Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
