And there was, in those Ipswich years, for me at least, a raw educational component; though I used to score well in academic tests, I seemed to know very little of how the world worked and was truly grateful for instruction, whether it was how to stroke a backhand, mix a martini, use a wallpaper steamer, or do the Twist. My wife, too, seemed willing to learn. Old as we must have looked to our children, we were still taking lessons, in how to be grown-up.

Imagine This Life is not a bowl of cherries Ignore what's in the song It's not a bowl of things at all The song you see, is wrong Think of it as rhubarb And don't forget the custard A mixture of the sharp and sweet And a word to say when flustered.

The Massachusetts elite had read everything in sight, some of it too closely. As would be said of logic-loving Ipswich minister John Wise, those men were not so much the masters as the victims of learning. They had read and reread bushels of witchcraft texts. They parsed legal code. They knew their history. They worked in the sterling name of reason.

Amelia It was just a Morris Mini Made in 1959 It was old and rather tatty But what mattered, it was mine But it wasn't just a motor car It meant the world to me It gave me liberation 'Twas the thing that set me free I felt the need to name it And then "Millie" came to mind Back then it was a grannie's name The oddest I could find Amelia was christened And it seemed to suit her well The only car that had a name As far as I could tell I simply drove it everywhere And it never missed a beat Despite her ragged edges She would not admit defeat But slowly I grew older And I felt the need for more And Millie lost her lustre She just wasn't like before My wife now has a Mini That is more than twice as fast But it's somehow lost the magic Of that old one of the past The one thing I insist on That will always be the same Yes, I'm sure you've guessed it It has got the same old name.

Barth was possibly the less efficacious of the two remedies. A bracingly stringent Calvinist, he did supply Updike with one of the enduring tenets of his personal creed (the idea that God is β€œWholly Other”: β€œWe cannot reach Him, only He can reach us”), and he did become, in the sixties, Updike’s favorite theologian (β€œIpswich belonged to Barth”)β€”but as Barth himself insisted, theology cannot protect faith from doubt. For Updike, it was one buttress in a system of reinforcements necessary to sustain belief.

He sometimes wondered what it might be like to take to his bed until it was over, and remembered a fellow priest who, when he felt the horrors approaching, would hole up in the grimmest boarding house in the most depressing town he could find, in order to plumb the slough of despond. The idea was, that after hitting rock bottom, he would emerge into a world in which anything would seem better than his most recent experience. The town his friend had chosen to confront every demon known to man, Sidney remembered, was Ipswich. It seemed an odd choice.

It all changed," he says. "The miners in Ipswich joined a union and voted Labor. But young ones coming through didn't think of themselves as working class. They moved to the Sunny Coast. Four-bedroom house. Couple of cars. Most of them became anti-union! Dumb fucks thought they got paid 200k just because they're good at their jobs. Nothin' to do with my generation and my dad's generation, and the sacrifices we made by going on strike
