Revolutionary Road
Richard Yates in 1991
There are very few works in any discipline that I love as fiercely as I do Richard Yates' Revolutionary Road. I read it every spring. Now it's going to be a "big movie". It was going to happen sooner or later. I hope they play it straight. I hope they don't screw it up.
