"Trapped in their cozy catacombs, the couples have made sex by turns their toy, their glue, their trauma, their therapy, their hope, their frustration, their revenge, their narcotics, their main line of communication and their sole and pitiable shield against the awareness of death. Adultery, says Updike, has become a kind of 'imaginative quest' for successful hedonism that would enable man to enjoy an otherwise meaningless life....The couples of Tarbox live in a place and time that together seem to have been ordained for this quest." -- Time
"One of Updike's boldest and most imaginative performances."--"Newsweek"
"Ellellou is an extraordinary tour-de-force of a character. . . . What a rich, surprising, and often funny novel "The Coup" is.""--The New York Times Book Review"
"A very funny book as well as a serious one. It's the work of an intelligent and funny and passionate man--and it's good."--"The Washington Post Book World"
