Great Regulars: [John] Updike lived out his life in Massachusetts,

spending his final days in a hospice. He died of lung cancer on Jan. 27, 2009. The announcement was made by Nicholas Latimer of his longtime publisher, Alfred A. Knopf.

Updike continued to write until his final months, publishing a review of Toni Morrison's "A Mercy" in the Nov. 3, 2008 edition of The New Yorker and a short story, "Nessus at Noon," in the winter 2009 issue of The American Scholar.

The New Yorker's "Remembering Updike" section has contributions from dozens of authors, including Tobias Wolff, E.L. Doctorow, Joyce Carol Oates, ZZ Packer and Jeffrey Eugenides, who each define Updike's writing style and strengths, and explore the influence he had on their own work.
