Review:
"A beautiful book" (Joan Didion)

"Wonderful" (Andre Dubus)

"So quotidian, so possible, so plausible, that it is more terrifying to read...than to read of the disasters and massacres of kings" (Harper's)

"Every good writer I know acknowledges Yates as a master" (Kurt Vonnegut)

"Yates's trademark blackness does not seem out of place or excessive... the skilful sketches of Prentice's colleagues bring an element of humanity to a sordid and inhumane topic" (Leyla Sanai www.rocksbackpagesblogs.com)
Book Description:
A moving, ironic and often heart breaking exploration of post-war America by the author of Revolutionary Road
