A Tragic Honesty - The Life and Work of Richard Yates (Paperback)
Expected to ship within 18 - 22 working days

Celebrated in his prime, forgotten in his final years, only to be
championed anew by our greatest contemporary authors, Richard Yates
has always exposed readers to the unsettling hypocrisies of our
modern age. In Blake Bailey's masterful and entertaining biography,
Yates himself serves as the fascinating lens into mid-century
America, a world of would-be artists, depressed housewives, addled
businessmen, high living, wistful striving, and self-deception. The
story of Richard Yates here stands as a singular reminder of what
the writer must sacrifice for his craft, the devil's bargain of
artistry for happiness, praise for sanity.
