Four of the great writers of my lifetime—John Barth, Ursula K. Le Guin, Philip Roth, and Robert Silverberg—have stopped writing novels. I’m a bit sad, but it would be ungrateful to be too sad, and I think they had a better idea than John Updike did. After he finished with Rabbit and Bech, his lifetime average decreased with every book.
