Revolutionary Road

by Richard Yates
RM44.48 MYR
Revolutionary Road
Revolutionary Road

Suburban dreams decay into poignant, personal disintegration.

"Revolutionary Road" is a powerful exploration of the American Dream gone awry, almost surgical in its dissection of a 1950s marriage. The brilliance lies in the deep emotional resonance Richard Yates crafts within the confines of a seemingly typical suburban life. It's a narrative that engages you with its elegance yet haunts with its truth, making it profoundly impactful for anyone who has ever contemplated the cost of their choices against the canvas of societal expectations.
