Book Reviews of Cold Spring Harbor
Book Review: Painful and brilliant ...
Summary: 5 Stars
I read Revolutionary Road a few weeks ago (maybe 2 weeks ago) and immediately ordered a few more by Yates. I'm a big dummy for not knowing this guy sooner. He's a great writer and this particular novel doesn't skip a beat in comparison to Revolutionary Road (also brilliant). No plot reviews here (except to say when the car breaks down, some worlds change) ... buy the thing ... support the craft that is way too quickly dying from brain damaging electronics ...
Make believe I'm Obama and trust me on this book ... then order (or go to a library) and read it.
Summary of Cold Spring Harbor
In this classic novel Richard Yates, hailed as a preeminent chronicler of the American condition and author of the acclaimed Revolutionary Road, weaves a masterful, unflinching tale of two families brought together by chance, desperation, and desire.Evan Shepard was born with good looks, bad luck, and a love for the open ro But it was on one such drive, with his father from rural Long Island into lower Manhattan, that Evan?s life would be changed forever. When their car breaks down on a Greenwich Village street, Evan?s father presses a random doorbell, looking for a telephone. Within hours, two families?sharing equally complex and addled histories?will come together. There will be flirtation. There will be a marriage. There will be a child, a new home? But as Evan moves further into the uncharted land of manhood, as the women and men around him come into focus, he faces roads not taken and a journey not made?in Richard Yates? haunting exploration of human restlessness, family secrets, and a future shaped by them both.
