ONU Professor Emeritus of English Claude “Bud” Smith had an article, “Touching Genius: John Updike's Odd Obsession,” published in the anthology John Updike Remembered, edited by Jack A. DeBellis (McFarland, 2017).

Prof. Smith makes a cameo appearance in that story, which was included in Updike’s book "Love Factories."
