A Special ProvidenceYates, Richard

Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
"[Yates] has two great technical gifts. First, for vivid drama: realistic narrative and dialogue that is both crisp and rich. And second, for direct, uncluttered eloquence: a prose of great clarity and perceptiveness. When these work together--usually at a moment of collapse--the effect is shattering....The style of EASTER PARADE is a little more detached and the book is funnier than Yates's earlier work, occsionally opening up a satirical distance between the authorial voice and the characters....On the whole, though, EASTER PARADE is a theatre of unrelieved humiliation, disappointment, and pain....Though executed with considerable inventiveness and insight, a numb blankness dominates this book, as it does Yates's others."
