Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates
With a new introduction by Richard FordA deft, ironic, beautiful novel that deserves to be a classic. --William Styron
From the moment of its publication in 1961, Revolutionary Road was hailed as a masterpiece of realistic fiction and as the most evocative portrayal of the opulent desolation of the American suburbs. It's the story of Frank and April Wheeler, a bright, beautiful, and talented couple who have lived on the assumption that greatness is only just around the corner. With heartbreaking compassion and remorseless clarity, Richard Yates shows how Frank and April mortgage their spiritual birthright, betraying not only each other, but their best selves.
In his introduction to this edition, novelist Richard Ford pays homage to the lasting influence and enduring power of Revolutionary Road.
Richard Yates is a cycling sports journalist who has covered the sport for a variety of English and French-language newspapers for many years. In 2001, he released Jacques, a biography of France's cycling legend Jacques Anquetil.
