«La fenêtre panoramique» is the novel by Richard Yates, published by Robert Laffont in paperback (560 pages, in French).
The novel follows April and Frank Wheeler, a married couple in the New York suburbs who strive to feel superior to their bourgeois neighbours. Frank commutes to work in advertising every day, but they do not find the satisfactions they expected; the gap between their ambitions and their real life eventually erodes the relationship.
Originally published as «Revolutionary Road» in 1961, it was a finalist for the National Book Award and adapted into a film by Sam Mendes in 2009. This edition includes a foreword by Douglas Kennedy.
For readers of literary fiction and twentieth-century American classics, especially those seeking portraits of suburban life and disillusionment.
Richard Walden Yates was an American fiction writer identified with the mid-century "Age of Anxiety." His first novel, Revolutionary Road, was a finalist for the 1962 National Book Award, while his first short story collection, Eleven Kinds of Loneliness, brought comparisons to James Joyce. Critical acclaim for his writing, however, was not reflected in commercial success during his lifetime.
