Richard Yates (1926-1992) has been described as a "writer's writer" but has never received the critical attention befitting that designation. Firmly rooted in the zeitgeist of 1950s, his work remains startlingly relevant, addressing themes of American identity, the nature of marriage and relationships between men and women, and what it means to get ahead in a society entranced by a flawed American Dream.
This collection of new essays is the first to focus on this under-appreciated author. It opens up his body of work for a new generation of readers, and positions Yates as a writer of significance in the American tradition.
Jennifer Daly maintains research interest in American literature of the 20th and 21st centuries and has published work on Richard Yates and Richard Ford. She lives in Ireland.
