«Les germanes Grimes» is the novel by Richard Yates published by Proa in 2009 in paperback, with 296 pages, in Catalan.
Sarah and Emily Grimes are two very different sisters united by the same sentimental upbringing. Emily, single, intellectual and cosmopolitan, moves from one relationship to another without finding fulfillment; Sarah, the elder, marries and becomes trapped in a life of ingratitude. The novel portrays their romantic failures and the weight of their mother Pookie.
Work originally published in English in 1976 under the title «The Easter Parade»; this Catalan edition, translated by Jordi Martín Lloret, belongs to the Perfils collection from Proa.
Recommended for readers of literary fiction and contemporary classics who want to delve into heartbreak and family relationships.
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.
