The idea
Rabbit, Run of nineteen sixty mirrors the fifties with Angstrom an aimless young husband. Rabbit Redux sets him against the counterculture, Rabbit Is Rich makes him a prosperous businessman, and Rabbit at Rest ends with his death from a heart attack in the eighties.
In practice
Aimless, adrift, prosperous, dead.
Where people slip
The name Angstrom belongs to Updike.
