John Updike is the young fiction writer, who emerged at The New Yorker. He was encouraged and praised by both Katharine White, fiction editor, and E.B. White. A friendship developed and White continued to exchange letters with Updike until his death in 1984. Updike continued as a frequent contributor to The New Yorker.
