yes and there's a semi-sequel/novella of sorts, Rabbit Remembered, published
in some collection i can't remember.  i remember thinking it was ok,
although one major, uh, i dunno,  "plot point" i guess, that's pretty cool
is revealed.

i remember thinking Rabbit At Rest was a peculiarly Jewish novel.  Updike
has masqued for that krewe before with his Bech books, which I could never
finish, featuring a very Jewish first-person protagonist.  But I found
Rabbit At Rest, even though of course none of the Angstroms are Jewish, to
be much more Jewish-y.  In a cool, subtle kinda way.
