The short stories, set in the fictional town of Olinger, Pennsylvania are in large part autobiographical, about a boy growing up in a small town in Pennsylvania, and his experiences as he reaches adolescence and manhood. As presented in Olinger Stories: A Selection the stories match the fictional chronology “which follow a single narrator through his adolescence, marriage, and divorce.”[2][3]
The volume includes stories previously collected in Updike’s The Same Door (1959) and Pigeon Feathers and Other Stories (1962).
