Message: [QUOTE="Noexcuse, post: 292707, member: 18"] Great series, each book written about 1o years apart from 1960 - 2001 and showed the cultural changes that occurred in America over that time and how they affected Harry and his family. James Caan played the role of Rabbit in the movie and he was perfect for the part. The movie was pretty faithful to the book. I remember hearing an interview of Updike on Fresh Air a while back. His impetus for writing Rabbit Run was Kerouac's On the Road. Harry takes off at the beginning of Rabbit Run but realizes he really has no where to go and heads back home to his boring and predictable life. On a side note, Syracuse went 10-3 in 2001 and beat K-State in the Insight.Com Bowl. 2001 was also Greg Schiano's first year as Rutgers Head Coach. He went 2-9. [/QUOTE]
