Can Richard Yates write ANYTHING bad? Sunhawk !nZQ2xl.g.6 Fri Apr 15 11:16:52 2011 No.1703237 [Reply] [Original]

I've read Revolutionary Road, The Easter Parade, and some of Young Hearts Crying (at the moment), and he's really good. Almost every page is a winner. I think he's nailed what it means to be middle-class, even better than Updike or Franzen. I also have several other books to read by him on my shelf, a compilation of his short stories and another novel.
