"Updike stayed at The New Yorker as a full staff writer for only two years, writing "Talk of the Town" columns and submitting poetry and short stories to the magazine. In New York, Updike wrote the poems and stories that came to fill his early books like The Carpentered Hen (1958) and The Same Door (1959). These works were influenced by Updike's early engagement with The New Yorker. This early work also featured the influence of J. D. Salinger ("A&P") ; John Cheever ("Snowing in Greenwich Village") ; and the Modernists Marcel Proust, Henry Green, James Joyce, and Vladimir Nabokov. " (from Wikipedia).
