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 angajatilor de birou din Manhattan, a unui sofer de taxi care cauta nemurirea, a aspirantilor romancieri frustrati, a barbatilor din suburbii si a dorintei lor, a femeilor neglijate, Richard Yates creeaza un mozaic bantuitor al anilor 1950, epoca in care visul american devenise in sfarsit realitate. - si abia incepe sa sune putin gol.
