«Revolutionary Road» is Richard Yates's novel in paperback (285 pages, in Portuguese).
Frank and April Wheeler, a young married couple with two children, live in a Connecticut suburb in the 1950s. The couple's comfortable life hides frustration: he is bored in an office and she has given up acting. The couple feels superior to their surroundings, plans to move to France, and ends up entangled in arguments, jealousy and doubts that damage the relationship.
Richard Yates's first novel, finalist for the National Book Award. Portuguese edition with translation by Isabel Baptista.
Intended for readers of literary fiction and book clubs interested in the portrait of disenchantment in American suburbs.
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.
