Un jour dans la vie de Hope Chafetz, femme peintre renommée de 79 ans, qui, dans sa maison du Vermont rural, reçoit Kathryn d'Angelo, New-Yorkaise de 27 ans, venue l'interviewer sur sa vie et son oeuvre. La rencontre prend la forme d'un long dialogue au caractère théâtral évident où les unités de temps, de lieu, d'action sont respectées et facilitées par la focalisation intérieure de Hope.

John Hoyer Updike (March 18, 1932 – January 27, 2009) was an American novelist, poet, short-story writer, art critic, and literary critic. One of only four writers to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction more than once, Updike published more than twenty novels, more than a dozen short-story collections, as well as poetry, art and literary criticism and children's books during his career. Hundreds of his stories, reviews, and poems appeared in *The New Yorker* starting in 1954.
