Basic Bech combines two classic titles -- Bech: A Book and Bech is Back -- from
one of John Updike's most beloved characters.
Henry Bech, the celebrated author of Travel Light, has been scrutinized,

world. Suffering from temporary impotence and not-so-temporary writer's block,
Bech finds renewed fame when he returns to his native America and Think Big, his
