every literary prize, including two Pulitizers, for "Rabbit Is Rich" and "Rabbit at Rest," and two National Book Awards.
Author Joyce Carol Oates, a friend of Updike, said there was a "luminosity in John's style that was just extraordinary. He also had a wonderful, warm, sympathetic sense of humor which people didn't always notice."
He released more than 50 books in a career that started in the 1950s, winning virtually

Pianist says inauguration quartet did 'right thing'
NEW YORK — Gabriela Montero says she and the other members of the Obama inauguration quartet were not trying to fool anybody by having recorded music played in the biting cold.
Shaken by comparisons to lip-syncers Milli Vanilli, the pianist insists she and fellow musicians Yo-Yo Ma, Itzhak Perlman and Anthony McGill "did the right thing."
"What is upsetting me these days is the fact that we put so much love into this, with a very profound desire to make it so beautiful," the Venezuelan-American pianist said Tuesday in a telephone interview from Boston. "My only regret is that, unfortunately, some people have chosen to focus on the wrong thing."

Just before Obama was sworn in on Jan. 20 with temperatures in the 20s, the quartet appeared to play "Air and Simple Gifts," a short work composed for the occasion by John Williams.
Montero said the quartet actually did play,but the music was drowned out by the amplified music.
"Can you imagine what kind of tone it would have set? ... It would absolutely have been a pathetic way to lead a president into his oath and the moment that this country was waiting for so eagerly."
The group recorded the work two days earlier but still intended to play it live, she said. A day before the inauguration, about half a dozen keys on the Steinway were sticking, and the piano was not projecting enough sound, Montero said.
"We decided that it would have been a disaster if we went out there with that cold, with the wind, and played our instruments out of tune," she said.
