That's why we love disaster, Harry sees it, puts us back in touch with guilt and sends us crawling back to God

John Updike, a prolific American author known for his keen observations of human nature and the complexities of relationships, often delves into the themes of guilt, redemption, and spirituality in his works. In the quote “That's why we love disaster, Harry sees it, puts us back in touch with guilt and sends us crawling back to God,” Updike captures the essence of how disaster can serve as a catalyst for self-reflection and a reconnection with one's faith.
