«Vía Revolucionaria» is the novel by Richard Yates, published by Punto de Lectura in hardcover (272 pages, in Spanish).
Set in the 1950s, it portrays Frank and April Wheeler, a couple who seem to embody the American dream while drowning in suburban comfort. The novel examines isolation, lack of communication and loss of values through the couple's struggle to hold on to their ideals in the face of an oppressive life, until a project for change threatens their fragile stability.
Finalist for the National Book Award for fiction in 1962, this edition includes a translation by Luis Murillo Fort and is linked to the movie by Sam Mendes starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.
For readers of literary fiction and psychological drama set in postwar America; also for those seeking the original novel after seeing the movie adaptation.
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.
