Publicada originalmente en 1962, esta colección de relatos cortos es considerada una de las obras maestras de la narrativa estadounidense de la segunda mitad del siglo XX. A través de las vidas cotidianas de secretarias en Manhattan, soldados desilusionados y taxistas soñadores, Richard Yates construye un mosaico inolvidable que revela las sombras del sueño americano en su apogeo. La precisión de los diálogos y la esencialidad de su escritura otorgan a estas historias una intensidad universal y atemporal. Esta edición italiana cuenta con un prefacio de Paolo Cognetti y ha sido aclamada por la crítica como el equivalente neoyorquino de 'Dublineses' de James Joyce.
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.
