Richard Yates and the Flawed American Dream - Critical Essays (Paperback)

Richard Yates (1926-1992) has been described as a ""writer's writer"" but has never received the critical attention befitting that designation. Firmly rooted in the zeitgeist of 1950s, his work remains startlingly relevant, addressing themes of American identity, the nature of marriage and relationships between men and women, and what it means to get ahead in a society entranced by a flawed American Dream. The first to focus on this under-appreciated author, the collection of new essays opens up his body of work for a new generation of readers and position him as a writer of significance in the American tradition.
