It is socially quite acceptable, has impeccable manners and irresistible charm. Its credentials are faultless: a desert species native to Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa, it is clean, odorless and friendly, eats little (sunflower seeds, lettuce, corn), excretes less (three drops of urine a day), and never bites.

But as a delicate cameo that freezes three people in postures that none of them finds comfortable, it is almost faultless. Its achievement is that with in credibly economical means, it suggests that each of these people will change, develop, shift in their relations to each other and makes the reader wonder what their future will be. Its failure is that Updike never explores that future...
PETER PEARS AND JULIAN BREAM: MUSIC FOR THE GUITAR (RCA Victor). Though the singers and the composers (Britten, Walton) are 20th century, this disk takes the listener right into an 18th century salon. Pears's technique is faultless, his singing elegant...
