Eleven Kinds of Loneliness by Richard Yates
Whether addressing the smothered desire of suburban housewives, the white-collar despair of Manhattan office workers, the grim humour that attends life on a tuberculosis ward, or the moments of terrified peace experienced by American soldiers in World War II, the author examines every frayed corner of the American Dream.
