Richard Yates » Melville House Books I was Richard Yates to the existence of Richard Yates by a sharp young magazine editor, in the course of a dinner conversation about books and films describing the American suburbs. I bought Richard Yates book and read it quickly. Describing Frank and April Wheeler as characters in a suburban novel is like saying that Madame Richard Yates is a provincial doctor's wife, but otherwise I remain deeply grateful for the recommendation. Those to whom I now hand out copies of Revolutionary Road react as I did, calling nervously, to say that the book seems very sad and again, when they have finished, promising to pass it on. Richard Yates confess to finishing the book in tears. Yatesians exchange what Ford felicitously calls 'a sort of cultural-literary handshake' when we identify each other. Nick Hornby, who finds the novels, apart from Revolutionary Road, 'too schematically gloomy to breathe properly', tells me by email that he prefers the short stories. I wonder about this. Yates's gloom is made tolerable by his lack of heartlessness and because he believed that humans might somehow handle their own lives, even if they never appeared to do so very satisfactorily. According to David Hare: 'Yates belongs with Fitzgerald and Hemingway as the three unarguably great American novelists of the 20th century. The highest compliment I can pay him is to say that he writes like a screenwriter, not like a novelist. He wants you to see everything he describes. Dramatic writers find novels unbearable because novelists mostly junk word on word, incident on incident Yates describes everything with deadly precision, then goes on cutting everything closer and closer to the bone. He has a genuinely tragic sense, which comes out of an intense romanticism about the sensual things of life - cigarettes, drink, the opposite sex. Can any Wasp writer truly be called sensual? We all agree, however, that Yates's hour has come. A Yates revival is currently under way Richard Yates some sort of commercial recognition appears imminent. His seven novels are being reissued. InYates was born into the heart of the American Richard Yates class in Yonkers, an unprepossessing town in New York State known, if at all, for its racetrack. His father was an electric-light salesman with a fine tenor voice, and his mother an aspiring, unsuccessful sculptress. His parents separated when Yates was four. Always short of money, the family moved constantly in and around the West Richard Yates of Manhattan, with the odd, catastrophic foray upstate. Dookie forced her shy son to pose naked as a faun for a series of ghastly statutes, wore stained clothing and, when tipsy, would sit with her legs open so that her knickers could be seen. Loyally, Richard Yates insisted that she Richard Yates that bad', but one horrendous account of a drinking binge tells how she left 'a slick mouthful of puke' on the pillow adjoining her son's. Yates attended a 'progressive' but gruesomely competitive Wasp prep school in New England at which it was made clear to him that Richard Yates was the poorest pupil and where he was mercilessly bullied. Yates survived, learning to write good prose while editing the school magazine. Still a teenager, Yates shipped out to become an infantryman in the Ardennes, Richard Yates his lungs Richard Yates losing his virginity in Paris.

  • Jennifer Daly Trinity College Dublin [email protected] Remembering Who
    Jennifer Daly Trinity College Dublin [email protected] Remembering Who You Are: Memory and Deception in Revolutionary Road This paper is part of a wider project which seeks to challenge the accepted narrative of a crisis in American masculine identity through the prism of fiction since the 1950s. The increased influence of psychoanalysis and a general move toward a therapeutic culture began in the 1950s. Since then the dominant theory has been to position the men of the United States in a state of crisis borne out of increased freedom for women, the modernisation of society, technological advancements, and the promotion of a consumer driven culture. As a result, the crisis narrative has assumed a position as an accepted memory for masculinity studies. This paper will question the validity of the “masculinity in crisis” theory through an analysis of the Richard Yates novel Revolutionary Road. Yates regularly allows his characters to indulge in fantasies of how a particular situation will play out, but reality rarely matches what they imagine. They consistently dream about better, more exciting lives for themselves, spurred on by the pressures of a society that celebrates the individual while at the same time demanding that individual conform to the national stereotype of the American dream. Frank Wheeler, the protagonist, is particularly guilty of this to the point that his memories of events are subject to the same fantastic qualities until tragedy strikes and he is forced to embrace the reality of his situation. This paper will thus seek to interrogate the collective memory that has grown up around the theory of a crisis in masculinity in the United States.

  • Chapter I Introduction
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study One of interesting literary theories is Psychology. Psychoanalysis is a branch of psychology that methodology of studying mental process and mental behavior. Psychoanalysis related to structural, process and developmental change. Basically, Psychology has the relation between people behavior and the other human. It comprises everything related to the feeling, thought, behavior, ideas, etc. related to the psychology, every person are created with different personalities. The quality of personality is being a person. Personality is deeper than character. It does not confine itself to an organized expression as character does. In a movie, the personality of the main character is interesting object for the researcher to analyze. Personality in a movie is closely related to personal psychological behavior, because it is shown many ways, like actions, dialogues, attitudes, and characteristics that influence the personality. It means that character can influence personality, but personality is unchanging. Wellek and Werren (1956: 31) in theory of literature state that literature has function as the duce and the utile. They said that the work of literature is successful, the two “notes” of pleasure and utility should not coexist but coalesce. The pleasure of literature need to maintain is not one of 1 2 preferences among along list of possible pleasure but also a “higher-pleasure” because pleasure is higher kind of activity, i.e. non-acquisitive contemplation. Personality is defined by the particular concepts a theorist uses to describe or understand human behavior. According to Pervin (1984: 2) the field of personality is concerned with the total individual and with individual differences.

  • Richard Yates’ “Builders” and Questions of the Autobiographical Content of His Work
    .........................................................................................CROSSROADS. A Journal of English Studies 32 (2021) (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) KARL WOOD1 DOI: 10.15290/CR.2021.32.1.04 Kazimierz Wielki University in Bydgoszcz, Poland ORCID: 0000-0002-4042-1307 A window into short- -story construction: Richard Yates’ “Builders” and questions of the autobiographical content of his work Abstract. Richard Yates, most remembered for his Revolutionary Road (1961), was also the author of two fine and exceptionally well-crafted collections of short stories, Eleven Kinds of Loneliness (1963) and Liars in Love (1981). Yates was a writer of exceptional perception and unflinching clarity, yet some have criti- cized his work as drawing too heavily on autobiographical content. This article seeks to examine Yates’ 1963 story “Builders” to gain insight into this extraordinary author’s understanding of the writing pro- cess, his use of autobiographical or semi-autobiographical content, and to suggest new approaches for work on this still under-appreciated twentieth century author. Keywords: Richard Yates, autofiction, self-narrative, short stories Richard Yates, an author whose name often evokes a vague sense of familiarity, is most often remembered for his 1961 first novel Revolutionary Road, accompanied by a sense that this was an important and fine author, yet one who remains on many bucket lists of works to be read, someday, when time permits. This is an improvement over the situa- tion at the turn of the century, when Richard Ford commented that Yates was a kind of “cultural-literary secret handshake” (2000: 16), with his work largely out of print, leading Stewart O’Nan (1999) to remark that “to write so well and be forgotten is a terrifying legacy.” Over the past twenty years or so, however, prompted by the advocacy of several of his students, there has been a small renaissance in the appreciation of Yates.

  • The Reflexive Realism of Richard Yates
    A Thing Made of Words: The Reflexive Realism of Richard Yates By Leif Bull Student no. 33073581 Goldsmiths College PhD English 1 DECLARATION I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Leif Bull 2 Abstract This thesis is a study of the work of American novelist and short story writer Richard Yates. Taking as its starting point the consensus view of Richard Yates as a realist operating during a period of strong anti-realist currents in American literature, the thesis seeks to complicate this notion, arguing instead for a reading of Richard Yates' work as a mode of realism that could only have emerged after modernism, a realism that focussed on a number of concerns and problems regarding representation and interpretation shared with literary postmodernism, and which anticipates recent and current trends within American literary fiction. Its main areas of investigation are Yates' take on everyday language as a site of entropy; his use of intertextuality, in particular in relation to the short story; tensions between realism's claim to cognitive/visual authority and epistemological uncertainty; concerns and anxieties around masculinity within American realism; his use of autobiographical material in relation to the psychoanalytic theories of Melanie Klein and D. W. Winnicott; the impact of media saturation on subjectivity, with particular focus on cliché. 3 A THING MADE OF WORDS: THE REFLEXIVE REALISM OF RICHARD YATES ........................................................................................ 1 ABSTRACT

  • Avatars of the Anti-Heroic Couple
    University of Bucharest Review Vol. III/2013, no. 1 (new series) Cultures of Memory, Memories of Culture Anca Peiu* THE AMERICAN DREAM OF SELF-RELIANCE: AVATARS OF THE ANTI-HEROIC COUPLE Keywords: self-reliance/achievement; the perfect couple; partnership; love; family; culture; memory. Abstract: Self-Reliance is perhaps the most powerful American myth. It precedes Ralph Waldo Emerson himself in a vision that Benjamin Franklin called The American Dream: the availability of success to anyone who is ready to surpass one’s own limits. This classic American heritage of thought has been questioned again and again by writers who put their national culture icons and their (sense of) history on the map of world literature. And further on, high up there, on the screen of really memorable movies. My case in point here is Richard Yates’s 1961 novel, Revolutionary Road. Its outstanding 2008 film version, achieved by Sam Mendes, who directed a cast of actors starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, is much more than a fortunate coincidence. Ironic distortion and doom interweave as echoes of one of the few books which William Faulkner wrote out of Yoknapatwpha County: The Wild Palms (1939). Whether modern or post-modern, the two realistic novels share a focus on the anti-heroic couple. Their main delusions stem from the deepest memory of American culture: the (revolutionary) myth of self-reliance. For Kate Winslet, the year 2008 meant the international acknowledgement of a double triumph of her artistic maturity: first as the best actress in the film The Reader – which also brought her the Oscar – and second as the leading lady of the movie Revolutionary Road.
