R.I.P.: John Updike

John Updike, the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist, prolific man of letters and erudite chronicler of sex, divorce and other adventures in the postwar prime of the American empire, died Tuesday at age 76.
Updike, a resident of Beverly Farms, Massachusetts, died of lung cancer, according to a statement from his publisher.
Death has taken many by surprise; as recently as November, he was touring in support of his latest novel, "The Widows of Eastwick."
