Reseñas de la Crítica

"Richard Yates is among the very truest of American writers. Each of his novels and each story unfalteringly traces our destinies and rescues us from the lost. He sees eye-to-eye with every one of us." (Gina Berriault)

"One of the handful of American novelists... who can be said to have a 'vision of life.' " (New York Times Book Review)

"The lives portrayed are bleak, trivial, thwarted, vapid, but they are made memorable against all odds by Yates's high virtue as a writer. The power demonstrated in his earlier work (A Good School; The Easter Parade) is reconfirmed here; he can bring a scene, a subject, a character to sharply detailed focus through an unswerving fidelity to the grim truths of existence, related in a clear and ringing prose." (Publishers Weekly)

A good read!

My introduction to Yates was through “The Easter Parade” and “Cold Spring Harbor” is where I went next. While this was a good read, I wouldn’t consider it the best of Yates. I'm aware he can be repetitive in his themes so I am happy to leave space and consume his novels slowly but I found this somewhat lacking after my delight with “The Easter Parade.” Nevertheless, I would recommend it to any Yates fan.
