«Easter Parade» is the novel by Richard Yates published by Robert Laffont in paperback (257 pages, in French).
Daughters of divorced parents, Sarah and Emily Grimes grow up in the suburbs of New York with an unsatisfied mother. Their paths diverge: Sarah seems to achieve the ideal marriage, Emily chooses a less conventional life, but neither fully escapes her past. An Easter parade in 1941 and a tragic event mark their relationship.
Original work: The Easter Parade (1976). The French translation is by Aline Azoulay-Pacvon and the Robert Laffont edition dates from 2010. It was nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award.
For readers of literary fiction and twentieth-century American classics, with an interest in family and period portraits.
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.
