This perceptive and disturbing novel, which was Richard Yates's last, doesn't quite match the stark genius of his great suburban tragedy Revolutionary Road, but reprises many of the same themes and motifs. So, more unhappy families from an author whose bleak world is marked by sadness, suffocation and the notion that everything is going to end in heart-rending sobs.
The characters face divorce, alcoholism, adultery and mental illness. Like Raymond Carver, Yates cuts at the ordinary veneer of small-town America to expose the claustrophobia beneath.
Despite the surface simplicity of his calm, clean prose there are swirling undercurrents. People marry too young, separate too quickly and start drinking far too early in the day. Others face the dreadful truths of their failures and inadequacies, while silently longing for love or simply the chance to escape.
Average Customer Rating:
another classic from Yates
This is the third novel from Yates that I have read and it is another instant classic. All the subtlety and suburban horror that he packs into Easter Parade and Revolutionary Road is here as you would expect, but this is a much shorter book. As a result much of the action is implied but implied with such skill that you are left in no doubt of the motivations of these, largely unpleasant, characters.
It seems odd to describe reading Yates as a joy as his stories are so tragic, but a joy it is and this book should be in everyone's library.
