JOHN UPDIKE American novelist, short story writer and poet (1932 - )   CHECK READING LIST (6)   America is a vast conspiracy to make you happy.       - [America] Any activity becomes creative when the doer cares about doing it right, or doing it better.       - [Creativity] Life is like an overlong drama through which we sit being nagged by the vague memories of having read the reviews.       - [Life] Natural beauty is essentially temporary and sad; hence the impression of obscene mockery which artificial flowers give us.       - [Nature] Possession diminishes perception of value, immediately.       - [Possession] Writing and rewriting are a constant search for what it is one is saying.       - [Writing] Last Revised: 2008 April 9 Copyright © 1999-2008 John C.
