Eleven Kinds of Loneliness

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 true - and just beginning to ring a little hollow.

Din vietile unor functionari din Manhattan, ale unui taximetrist in cautarea nemuririi, ale unor aspiranti romancieri frustrati, ale unor barbati din suburbii si ale femeilor lor neglijate si tanjitoare, Richard Yates creeaza un mozaic tulburator al anilor 1950, epoca in care visul american devenea in sfarsit realitate - si abia incepea sa sune putin gol.
