Johan Månssons musikalrecensioner: Häxorna i Eastwick.
Eastwick 1 Häxorna i Eastwick. John Updike , Kerstin Lennerthson Translator. Alexandra, Jane och Sukie bedrev ganska godartade häxkonster tills de kom i lag med en viss Darryl van Horne. Fabulöst rik och företagsam i allt som rörde njutningar och frestelser drog han in de tre väninnorna i sitt kraftfält. Orgier, viskades det på stan. Själva tyckte de att livet fått en guldkant och insåg plötsligt att de var både vackrare och mer begåvade än de haft en aning om.
När oskulden trädde in i bilden och på oskulders vis förhäxade själva häxmästaren exploderade de försmåddas hat - mer ska inte avslöjas. John Updike har gått in under skinnet på sina tre hjältinnor i skildringen av deras leverne och drömmar. Han ger en storartat humoristisk släng åt vår tids vurm för magi och övernaturliga ting. I bokens eftersmak ligger spekulationer om ondskan och dess verkningar på dem som utövar den.

Häxorna I Eastwick
I'm suprised by all the reviews of this book that speak of Updike's ability to "get" and fully understand women There is not one redeemable female character in this novel. All of the women are vapid, vacuous and more often than not cruel, indifferent and self-absorbed. I am not being prudish, I'm not suggesting that every female character should be a paradigm of female virtue - but what is Updike saying about women, when all the female characters in this novel are largely abhorrent?
Awful mothers, absent lovers - even the females on the periphery often the jilted, the abandoned, the victims , understandably wind up shrill, judgemental, bitter. Even the men are flat, not explored. Presumably this is all part of Updike's social commentary on
