Richard Yates – Easter Parade

Cruelly overlooked in his lifetime, Richard Yates has gradually come to be seen as one of the best American novelists of his generation. In what is often cited as his most perfect book, two sisters – one sober and conventional, the other more open to risk – confront the possibilities and disappointments of early adulthood, as the subtle fluctuations of their relationship are captured in prose of clarity and grace.
