He hits too close to home with the Rabbit tetralogy. People don't like thinking about how pathetic their lives are.

Rabbit, Run = man didn't run away from his shitty life when he should have. Shitty life continues for 3 more novels.

just read them. they are about the banality and meaninglessness of life for your typical modern American male. doesn't sound appealing on the surface, but they are often insanely funny and Updike is a 180 writer. I'd argue that the first book, Rabbit Run, is just pretty good by comparison to the sequels. He really hits his stride in Rabbit Redux and Rabbit is Rich.

The problem with literary realism is that it is mostly redundant. We already know where we stand as human animals, we know it is depressing and demoralizing. There's no reason to care about anything that happens in an Updike novel, though the message is potent enough the first time around.
