Finished Easter Parade
Just finished Easter Parade by Richard Yates. It was on my list but came up on another thread from u/easy_past_4501 and u/andmoore27 (thank you both).
I love Yates and really enjoyed Revolutionary Road. He has a way with writing that is just so casual and emotional at the same time.
I read alot of melancholic authors. Plath, Dazai, Kafka, Camus, Dostoevsky, Chekov, Mccarthy, John Williams... but man... ill tell you that Easter Parade is just the definition of BLEAK. I was captivated from the beginning and it was just an existential crash throughout the book. The way Yates captures things like someone losing their innocence or death is just gut wrenching.
I also love the way Yates seemed to have written about the men and women. He pulled no punches on either depiction. Both were gross, pathetic, insecure, vulnerable, imperfect... and mortal.
If you havent read it, I recommend you do... but be warned from Yates...
"Neither Grimes sisters would have a happy life, and looking back it always seemed that the trouble started with their parents divorce"
This is a definite read if you enjoyed John Williams Stoner
