理查德·耶茨(Richard Yates,1926—1992)是“焦虑时代的伟大作家”。作为二十世纪中叶的美国主流生活的忠实记录者,批评家们将他与契诃夫、菲茨杰拉德、约翰·契弗相提并论。他的处女作长篇小说《革命之路》甫一推出即获成功,获得美国国家图书奖提名。1962年他的第一部短篇小说集《十一种孤独》出版,更被誉为“纽约的《都柏林人》”。耶茨的作品曾获《纽约时报书评》、《君子》、《华盛顿邮报》等媒体赞誉,并有四本小说入选“每月一书俱乐部”。此外他还有一大批作家拥趸,其中不乏著名作家,如库尔特·冯内古特、安德烈·杜波依斯,他的作品也影响了许多作家,如雷蒙德·卡佛,他被誉为“作家中的作家”。

In this classic novel Richard Yates, hailed as a preeminent chronicler of the American condition and author of the acclaimed Revolutionary Road, weaves a masterful, unflinching tale of two families brought together by chance, desperation, and desire.
Evan Shepard was born with good looks, bad luck, and a love for the open ro But it was on one such drive, with his father from rural Long Island into lower Manhattan, that Evan’s life would be changed forever. When their car breaks down on a Greenwich Village street, Evan’s father presses a random doorbell, looking for a telephone. Within hours, two families—sharing equally complex and addled histories—will come together. There will be flirtation. There will be a marriage. There will be a child, a new home… But as Evan moves further into the uncharted land of manhood, as the women and men around him come into focus, he faces roads not taken and a journey not made—in Richard Yates’ haunting exploration of human restlessness, family secrets, and a future shaped by them both.
"There's never been anything funny about a woman dying for love.”
评分看完的第一本英文小说!普通人生活中那种无望的挣扎,偶尔出现的微茫的希望和转机,他写的太微妙,总是让人看到自己。
评分my first English novel and this should be marked. The story is quite plain, I don't like it.
