Negative Positive
Title: absolutely one of the best books I've ever read!!
Review: The title of my review is true, in this novel Yates flawlessly depicts the reality of two families brought together by fate. I don't understand why Richard Yates is so unknown outside the US, he would deserve whole essays in literature books for high school students, lectures in the universities all around the world. I think COLD SPRING HARBOR, YOUNG HEARTS CRYING and REVOLUTIONARY ROAD are his masterpieces. Maybe people fear to watch reality too directly, it is the only explanation I can give to myself for the success Yates never knew during his short life; even though he was a genius.
