ⓘ About Richard Yates
Richard Yates was a published author. He burst onto the scene with the publication of his first novel, Revolutionary Road, which was nominated for the National Book Award in 1961. The book drew a lot of praise and made Yates an important new writer in the literary world. Kurt Vonnegut even said that the book was ‘The Great Gatsby’ of its time. William Styron said that it was a “deft, ironic, beautiful novel that deserves to be a classic’. Tennessee Williams said that it was more than fine writing and that if “more is needed to make a masterpiece in modern American fiction, I am sure I don’t know what it is”. In 1962, Eleven Kinds of Loneliness was published, the author’s first collection of short stories.
