Inspirada en la leyenda griega de Quirón y Prometeo, esta novela de John Updike traslada la mitología a un entorno moderno. La historia se desarrolla en una escuela superior de Pennsylvania, donde Quirón, un profesor de ciencias, lucha por conectar con su hijo adolescente, Prometeo. A través de tres días de invierno en 1947, la novela explora la relación entre padre e hijo, la agonía del maestro y la iniciación del hijo en la vida. Con una prosa cuidada y referencias mitológicas, Updike ofrece una reflexión sobre la confrontación generacional y la búsqueda de sentido.
