[edit] COLLECTED STORIES OF RICHARD YATES

This volume contains a collection of short stories by American novelist, Richard Yates. It contains 'Eleven Kinds of Loneliness' and 'Liars in Love', as well as nine other stories not previously published. This collection examines the frayed corner and tear in the American dream.

Richard Yates was one of the most powerful, compassionate, and technically accomplished writers of America's postwar generation. His work inspired such diverse talents as Richard Ford, Ann Beattie, Andre Dubus, Robert Stone, and Kurt Vonnegut, and his 1961 novel, Revolutionary Road, is an acknowledged classic of American literature. Here, for the first time, Yates's peerless short fiction is published in a single volume. Containing the stories of his classic works Eleven Kinds of Loneliness (hailed by The New York Times Book Review as 'the New York equivalent of Dubliners') and Liars in Love, this superb collection also offers nine new stories, seven of which have never before been published. Whether addressing the smothered desire of suburban housewives, the white-collar despair of Manhattan office workers, the grim humour that attends life on a tuberculosis ward, or the heartbreak of a single mother with artistic pretensions, Yates ruthlessly examines every frayed corner and tear in the American dream. Published with a moving introduction by the novelist Richard Russo, The Collected Stories of Richard Yates will stand as its author's final masterpiece.
