Synopsis "Revolutionary Road, the Easter Parade, Eleven Kinds of Loneliness (Everyman's Library) "

Three classic works--including the virtuosic Revolutionary Road--that exemplify the remarkable gifts of this great American master It is Yates's relentless, unflinching investigation of our secret hearts, and his speaking to us in language as clear and honest and unadorned and unsentimental and uncompromising as his vision, that makes him such a great writer." --Richard Russo, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Empire Falls Richard Yates's first novel, National Book Award finalist Revolutionary Road, is the unforgettable portrait of a marriage built on dreams that tragically never come to fruition. In The Easter Parade, he tells the story of two sisters whose parents' divorce overshadows their entire lives. And in the stories in Eleven Kinds of Loneliness, we witness men and women striving for better lives amid discouragement and disillusion.
