«Revolutionary Road» is the novel by American writer Richard Yates, published by Vintage Classics in paperback (352 pages, in English).
Frank and April Wheeler are a young married couple in suburban America of the 1950s. Though they appear to lead an orderly life, they feel trapped by routine and believe they deserve something more. The novel shows how that illusion crumbles under social pressure and the couple's decisions, in a portrait of the disillusionment of the American dream.
Richard Yates's first novel, originally published in 1961 and a finalist for the National Book Award. Set in Connecticut.
Reading for fans of literary fiction and American classics interested in relationship dramas and social criticism.
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.
