Synopsis
The Everyman Library celebrates the brutal, brilliant fiction of Richard Yates with this volume containing two novels and one collection of short stories. REVOLUTIONARY ROAD is a complex and painful portrait of a doomed and self-deceiving married couple, Frank and April Wheeler, whose dream of being destined and special goes to suburbia to die--many consider this novel the GREAT GATSBY of the 1950s. THE EASTER PARADE follows the lives and hardships of two sisters, Emily and Sarah Grimes, who suffer from booze, bad men, and most of all the long shadow of their vain and disreputable mother, "Pookie." Yates's short stories, long out of print before this book, prove him again and again to be a master chronicler of the many species and sub-species of human folly and suffering.
