«Revolutionary Road» is the novel by Richard Yates published by Il Sole 24 Ore in hardback, in Italian.
Frank and April Wheeler, a couple from the American suburbs of the 1950s, feel superior to their surroundings, but remain trapped in routine and social conventions. Richard Yates portrays the disenchantment of the American dream, alienation, marital failure, and the longing for an authentic life in the face of conformity.
This Italian-language edition belongs to the Coast to Coast collection, published by the newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore.
For readers interested in twentieth-century American fiction and in critical portrayals of suburban life and middle-class dissatisfaction.
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.
