Description:
New York: Delacorte Press / Seymour Lawrence, 1975. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First Printing (so stated). 8vo: [10],278pp. Publisher's black cloth, spine and upper cover stamped in red and gilt, top edge stained red, fore- and bottom edges untrimmed, red end papers, illustrated dust jacket priced $7.95. Fine unread copy in Fine jacket with blurbs by John Ciardi, Tennessee Williams, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., William Styron, Dorothy Parker, and John Thompson. Scarce such. To all appearances, Yates's protagonist, John Wilder, has all the trappings of Sixties success—promising career, loving family, beautiful city apartment and country home—but something deep within this seemingly perfect life has long since soured. More for Revolutionary Road, his debut novel, than for this comparatively ham-fisted effort, Yates is often considered the great forgotten novelist of 20th-century America.

Description:
London: Eyre Methuen, 1978. First Impression. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First British Edition, with wraparound pictorial dust jacket taken from Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks." 8vo: [6],229,[1]pp. Publisher's French blue cloth, spine stamped in gilt. Virtually pristine (and probably unread), both book and jacket. Yet another example of the value to be found in the graphically superior designs of most UK editions of American authors's works. Difficult to imagine a finer copy. In 1989, in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Yates, reflecting on his life's work, had this to say: "I'm one of those writers who has the misfortune to write his best book first." Revolutionary Road, in fact, was nominated for the National Book Award in 1962 and is hailed today as a modern classic. But in the opinions of many writers and critics, The Easter Parade is equally fine (the book has been championed by Joan Didion, David Sedaris, Kurt Vonnegut, Larry McMurtry and Tao Lin, among others). Its famous opening line warns… Read More
