«Vía Revolucionaria» is the literary novel by Richard Yates, published by Alfaguara in paperback (376 pages, in Spanish).
Set in the 1950s, the story follows Frank and April Wheeler, a couple trying to maintain their ideals in the face of comfort and a lack of sincere feelings. Yates portrays the isolation born of an affluent life, the breakdown of communication and the loss of values, in an inquiry into what society does to people.
Originally published in 1961 as Revolutionary Road, it was a finalist for the 1962 National Book Award. This edition belongs to Alfaguara's Hispánica collection.
For adult readers of literary fiction and contemporary classics; also used in reading clubs.
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.
