NY, Knopf, 1997. Inscribed by Updike on a Post-it note attached to the front flyleaf: "May 11/ Cyril - Good to read about you and John Paul II. Birds of a feather, but you are fluffier. Cheers, John." Fine in a fine dust jacket. Cyril Wismar and Updike met in 1970 when Wismar became pastor of the Clifton Lutheran Church of Marblehead, Massachusetts. A warm sentiment between these two longtime friends -- now approaching 30 years since they met, and two decades since Wismar performed the marriage ceremony for the Updikes. [#029424] SOLD
