New Releases by Richard Yates

Once tipos de soledad es un conjunto de cuentos desoladores, descarnados y perfectos. Aquí no hay luz al final del túnel; hay en cambio tristeza, aislamiento y desamparo narrados con una honestidad salvaje y cristalina, electrizante y conmovedora, absolutamente memorable. La soledad de las ciudades, la mediocridad de las aspiraciones de clase media, la dificultad para verbalizar la decepción y el desencanto, la negación y el autoengaño son los temas que Yates toca, una y otra vez, en variaciones siempre resonantes al oído del lector contemporáneo. Sus personajes son personas comunes, de vidas rutinarias y tragedias menores: una chica que se está por casar, un veterano convaleciente, un escritor a sueldo, una maestra amargada, un soldado que rememora sus días de entrenamiento, un taxista con sueños de una vida mejor. Richard Yates publicó Once tipos de soledad en 1962, un año después de que Revolutionary Road, su primera novela, fuera elogiada por Tennessee Williams como "una obra maestra". Kurt Vonnegut lo describió como "el mejor conjunto de cuentos escrito por un norteamericano", y el New York Times lo llamó "el equivalente neoyorquino de Dublineses". El libro fue publicado en español por primera vez en 2002, cuando la escritora argentina Esther Cross lo tradujo para Emecé, y rápidamente se volvió inconseguible. Esta nueva edición, revisada por Cross, recupera la voz magistral de Yates con una claridad prodigiosa, e invita a los lectores a reencontrarse, o a conocer, a este autor clave de la literatura norteamericana que preludia —y enriquece— la tradición de Salinger, de Cheever, de Salter, de Ford.

Septembre 1941, Connecticut. A la Dorset Academy, un campus sélect tout de vieilles pierres et de pelouses géantes, on entend former les fils de la haute bourgeoisie – parents et enseignants répètent à l''envi que c''est une " bonne école ". Pourtant, à son arrivée à l''internat, William Grove découvre l''envers du décor : lui, le fils nerveux d''un couple divorcé, se retrouve projeté dans un climat de " libido à l''état pur ", où les garçons les plus populaires règnent en maîtres. Même les professeurs ressemblent à des lions en cage – en particulier Jack Draper, invalidé par la polio, témoin impuissant de la liaison qu''entretiennent au grand jour sa femme et le prof de français. Et puis il y a Edith Stone, le fantasme de tous les élèves, qui est prête à vivre son premier amour... Avec ce roman choral, Yates signe une chronique de ses années de jeunesse, jetant un regard attendri sur les petites et grandes humiliations de l''adolescence, sur cette drôle d''école où il apprit à devenir un homme, avant de partir au combat. " La voix de Richard Yates est si généreuse dans sa volonté de pardonner à chacun ses faiblesses, que d''autres écrivains, comme Richard Ford ou moi, ont cherché à l''imiter. " Stewart O''Nan.

This classic story collection from the renowned author of Revolutionary Road presents eleven tales of Americans adrift in the mid-twentieth century. First published in 1962, Eleven Kinds of Loneliness showcases the piercing eye for telling detail and profound insight into human turmoil that have become Richard Yates''s signature. The New York Times Book Review hailed it as "the New York equivalent of Dubliners." Out of the lives of Manhattan office workers, a cab driver seeking immortality, frustrated would-be novelists, suburban men and their yearning, neglected women, Richard Yates creates a haunting mosaic of the 1950s, the era when the American dream was finally coming true—and just beginning to ring a little hollow. In Eleven Kinds of Loneliness, you''ll discover some of the most influential and sharply observed short fiction of the twentieth century, and find out why Richard Yates was a true American master.

Après les romans - La Fenêtre panoramique, Easter Parade et Un été à Cold Spring -, la publication de ce recueil de nouvelles permet de découvrir un autre versant du talent de Richard Yates ; toute la sensibilité du grand écrivain américain disparu en 1992 y éclate à chaque page. Son oeuvre est une sorte de «comédie humaine» sur le mode intimiste. Qu''il mette en scène des femmes désireuses de gagner leur indépendance, de vivre la bohème, d''obtenir la reconnaissance sociale, ou des hommes en proie à la désillusion et à l''échec, c''est toujours avec une grande tendresse qu''il retrace les destinées de ces personnages de la middle class américaine. Pour être souvent crue, sinon cruelle, sa vérité est le plus souvent libératrice.

La novela en que se basó la aclamada película Revolutionary Road, con Kate Winslet y Leonardo DiCaprio. Los años 50 retratados por Richard Yates tienen demasiados parentescos con los tiempos que vivimos. El aislamiento que nace de la comodidad. La incomunicación que produce la falta de sentimientos sinceros. La pérdida, muchas veces inconsciente, de valores, que en algún momento parecían fundamentales. Brillantes, bellos y confundidos, Frank y April Wheeler tratan de sostener sus ideas incluso contra sí mismos y sus debilidades. Yates los examina con una lucidez que tiene mucho de tristeza en esta magnífica novela: una indagación profunda y conmovedora sobre lo que las personas dejan que la sociedad haga con ellas. Reseñas: «Una Madame Bovary habitando los pesadillescos suburbios del American Dream. Pocos libros tan tristes hicieron tan felices a sus lectores: obra maestra.» El País «Con Vía Revolucionaria, Richard Yates hace una entrada a toda orquesta en la literatura. Kurt Vonnegut y Raymond Carver lo elevaron a la categoría de escritor de culto.» Lire «Si Vía Revolucionaria no convierte a Yates en un escritor inmortal, la inmortalidad es algo que no vale la pena.» Times «Si se necesita algo más para realizar una obra maestra, no sé de qué se trata.» Tennessee Williams «Una tragedia doméstica que comienza con la vergüenza de una función de teatro amateur, culmina con el lamento por una muerte estúpida, y acaba siendo una novela de terror sin monstruos imposibles que la hagan soportable.» Rodrigo Fresán «Es El Gran Gatsby de mi época. No hay ningún gran escritor que yo conozca que no tenga a Yates por maestro.» Kurt Vonnegut «La excitación que uno experimenta al leer a Yates es la euforia que uno siente al encontrar, reconocer y abrazar a la verdad. ¿No es una verdad agradable? Lo siento mucho. El reconocernos en la ceguera, las necesidades, las soledades y hasta en la crueldad de los personajes de Yates tendrá que bastarnos.» Richard Russo «Lo que se destaca en Vía Revolucionaria -y en toda la obra de Richard Yates- es lo agudo de su visión, pero también el modo en que esa visión se detiene no en la Guerra o en otros horrores sino en la vida del hombre promedio. Compartimos los sueños y los temores de su gente: el amor y el éxito junto a la soledad y el fracaso y no la vida tal cual la define la publicidad.» Boston Review

The classical guitar is at its best with music of smaller proportions that is personal, evocative, and imbued with opportunities for subtle, expressive nuances in performance. Like the piano it must stitch together discrete and fading notes into continuous melodies supported by a harmonic background. the joining of Grieg''s music and the classical guitar seems to be a most obvious and fruitful endeavor. This collection presents transcriptions from Grieg''s best known and loved piano works. They are of intermediate to early advanced difficulty, with detailed fingering indications and extensive notes about the transcriptions and performance suggestions for each piece. This wonderful music, so easily and elegantly translated to the guitar, has previously been overlooked by most guitarists. These arrangements show that the results of the combination is better than might be expected. Standard notation only.

The acclaimed author of Revolutionary Road—one of the most important writers of the twentieth century—movingly portrays a man and a woman from their courtship and marriage in the 1950s to their divorce in the 70s, chronicling their heartbreaking attempts to reach their highest ambitions. Michael Davenport dreams of being a poet after returning home from World War II Europe, and at first he and his new wife Lucy enjoy their life together. But as the decades pass and the success of others creates an oppressive fear of failure in both Michael and Lucy, their once bright future gives way to a life of adultery and isolation. With empathy and grace, Yates creates a poignant novel of the desires and disasters of a tragic, hopeful couple.

Three classic works—including the virtuosic Revolutionary Road—that exemplify the remarkable gifts of this great American master "It is Yates’s relentless, unflinching investigation of our secret hearts, and his speaking to us in language as clear and honest and unadorned and unsentimental and uncompromising as his vision, that makes him such a great writer.” —Richard Russo, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Empire Falls Richard Yates’s first novel, National Book Award finalist Revolutionary Road, is the unforgettable portrait of a marriage built on dreams that tragically never come to fruition. In The Easter Parade, he tells the story of two sisters whose parents’ divorce overshadows their entire lives.

NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST • Frank and April Wheeler are a bright, beautiful, talented couple in the 1950s whose perfect suburban life is about to crumble in this "moving and absorbing story” (The Atlantic Monthly) from one of the most acclaimed writers of the twentieth century. "The Great Gatsby of my time...one of the best books by a member of my generation." —Kurt Vonnegut, acclaimed author of Slaughterhouse-Five Perhaps Frank and April Wheeler married too young and started a family too early. Maybe Frank''s job is dull. And April never saw herself as a housewife. Yet they have always lived on the assumption that greatness is only just around the corner. But now that certainty is about to unravel. With heartbreaking compassion and remorseless clarity, Richard Yates shows how Frank and April mortgage their spiritual birthright, betraying not only each other, but their best selves. In his introduction to this edition, novelist Richard Ford pays homage to the lasting influence and enduring power of Revolutionary Road.
