Revolutionary Road

by Richard Yates
$11.90
Revolutionary Road
Revolutionary Road

Suburban dreams decay into poignant, personal disintegration.

"Revolutionary Road" is a powerful exploration of the American Dream gone awry, almost surgical in its dissection of a 1950s marriage. The brilliance lies in the deep emotional resonance Richard Yates crafts within the confines of a seemingly typical suburban life. It's a narrative that engages you with its elegance yet haunts with its truth, making it profoundly impactful for anyone who has ever contemplated the cost of their choices against the canvas of societal expectations.

Description

Hailed as a masterpiece from the moment of its first publication, "Revolutionary Road" is the story of Frank and April Wheeler, a bright, beautiful, and talented couple whose empty suburban life is held together by the dream that greatness is only just round the corner. With heartbreaking compassion and clarity, Richard Yates shows how Frank and April mortgage their hopes and ideals, betraying in the end not only each other, but their own best selves.
