Bech: A Book is a novel by John Updike, published by Andre Deutsch in 1970. It is a satirical and humorous portrait of Henry Bech, a fictional Jewish-American writer, who is a thinly veiled parody of Updike himself. The novel consists of several episodes, in which Bech travels, writes, lectures, loves, and suffers, while dealing with his fame, his critics, his rivals, and his fans. The novel is a witty and insightful commentary on the literary world and the human condition.
