Eleven Kinds of Loneliness
Eleven Kinds of Loneliness: Stories | Richard Yates
Now available in eBook for the first time, Richard Yates's groundbreaking collection of short fiction.First published in 1962, a year after Revolutionary Road, this sublime collection of stories seems even more powerful today. 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 trueand 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 20th century, and find out why Richard Yates was a true American master.

I liked Yates, especially “Disturbing the peace” which is not one of Yates‘ most popular novel. So I liked this tiny little book, each short story a sad gem, especially the eleventh one “constructions”, one of my favorite.

Theaelizabet Interesting. I‘ve only read his Revolutionary Road, which is quite powerful. 5y
Natascia.Brondino I liked revolutionary road too!!! You have to read disturbing the peace! 5y

I loved Yates after reading his tragic Revolutionary Road: this is the second book of his I've read, a series of 11 short stories, which I loved.
