Revolutionary Road, The Easter Parade, Eleven Kinds of Loneliness by Richard Yates

Revolutionary Road, The Easter Parade, Eleven Kinds of Loneliness by Richard Yates

Richard Yates was acclaimed as one of the most powerful, compassionate and accomplished writers of America's post-war generation. Whether addressing the smothered desire of suburban housewives, the white-collar despair of Manhattan office workers or the heartbreak of a single mother with artistic pretensions, Yates ruthlessly examines the hopes and disappointments of ordinary people with empathy and humour.

Revolutionary Road: The literary discovery of the year.. It's as brilliantly nuanced as Updike's Rabbit sequence, and as sad as anything by Fitzgerald -- Nick Hornby * Guardian Books of the Year *
Yates is a master * Sebastian Faulks *
