Hardcover. First Edition. Yates's powerful first book which Kurt Vonnegut called "the Great Gatsby of our time." Tennessee Williams said of this book: "Here is more than fine writing; here is what, added to fine writing, makes a book come immediately, intensely, and brilliantly alive. If more is needed to make a masterpiece in modern American fiction, I am sure I don't know what it is." The Academy-Award winning film AMERICAN BEAUTY echoes its theme of a soulless modern suburban marriage, and indeed this book too was made into a less successful film reuniting Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet from TITANIC. This copy is INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the front endpaper to noted translator Helen Lane "who writes better sentences/than almost anybody./with best wishes,/Dick Yates/3-16-61." There is an excellent interview with Helen Lane online. Fine in a Good dustwrapper with edgewear and chipping at the top of the spine and the rear panel.

First Edition. YATES, Richard. Revolutionary Road. Boston and Toronto: Little, Brown / Atlantic Monthly, (1961). Octavo, original half red cloth, original dust jacket. $7800.First edition of Yates' explosive debut novel, named "the Great Gatsby of our time" by Vonnegut, inscribed in the year of publication, "For N G with best wishes Richard Yates Bread Loaf 8/24/61."Revolutionary Road, Richard Yates' groundbreaking first novel, "creates an indelible portrait of lost promises and mortgaged hopes" in suburban America, a work richly praised for achieving "an intensity that excites the reader's compassion as well as his interest." A National Book Award finalist in 1962, the novel was hailed by Tennessee Williams as "intensely, and brilliantly alive. If more is needed to make a masterpiece in modern American fiction, I am sure I don't know what it is." To writer Richard Ford, Revolutionary Road remains a classic, decades after its first appearance: a work that is brilliant "in its apparent effortlessness, its complete accessibility, its luminous particularity, its deep seriousness toward us human beings about whom it conjures shocking insights and appraisals. We marvel at its consummate writerliness, its almost simple durability as a purely made thing of words that defeats all attempts at classification. Realism, naturalism, social satire the standard critical bracketry all go begging before this splendid book" (New York Times). "First Edition" on copyright page. Yates, who was associated with the Bread Loaf Writers Conference in Vermont in the early 1960s, inscribed this copy in the year of publication to a Minnesota English teacher attending the conference.Book fine; trace of dampstaining, a couple scratches to rear panel, mild toning to spine of bright near-fine dust jacket.
