- Summary:
- "Richard Yates has been described as a "writer's writer" but has never received the critical attention befitting that designation. The first to focus on this under-appreciated author, the collection of new essays opens up his body of work for a new generation of readers and position him as a writer of significance in the American tradition"-- Provided by publisher.
