Review
"Poignant tale... His tales are wonderfully gloomy and self-referential." -- Jancis Robinson * Waitrose Weekend * "[The Easter Parade is] Richard Yates' best novel, which makes it wonderful. From the first sentence to the last...I loved the book" -- Joan Didion "Few men since Flaubert have offered such sympathy to women whose lives are hell" -- Kurt Vonnegut "One of the United States' finest post-war novelists and short-story writers.He wrote some of the best fiction of his generation; it continues to give pleasure to all those readers who are fortunate enough to discover it" * Independent * "A brave, brilliant book" * Sunday Herald *
