    "A detailed study of Yates's novels and stories"-- "Dismembering the American Dream offers a detailed study of the novels and stories of Richard Yates, fiction which examined mid-twentieth century middle-class American life. Since his death in Alabama in 1992, the work of American writer Richard Yates has enjoyed a renaissance, culminating in director Sam Mendes's adaption of the novel Revolutionary Road starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. Dismembering the American Dream is the first booklength critical study of Yates's fiction. Kate Charlton-Jones argues that to read Yates's tales of disordered lives is to uncover not misery, though the lives he describes are sad ones, but a profound, enriching, and humorous understanding of human weakness and vulnerability. Yates's narratives absorb his readers so entirely, mirroring their own emotional highs and lows with such skill, that reading becomes recognition. Yates demonstrates his ability to tease powerful human drama out of the most ordinary, quotidian moments. At the same time, Yates's fiction displays an object lesson in the art of fine prose writing, so it is no surprise that many early fans of Yates were established writers. Charlton-Jones explores how Yates extends the realist form and investigates three main recurring themes of his fiction: observations about performative behavior, which are at the heart of all his fictions; his conception of the writer's role in society; and how he envisages the development of social and sexual relationships. Furthermore, Charlton-Jones illustrates how Yates incorporates some of the concerns and methods of postmodernist writers but how, nevertheless, he resists their ontological challenges. Drawing on the author's personal papers and with a foreword by DeWitt Henry and a special afterword by Richard Yates's daughter Monica, Dismembering the American Dream provides an extended critical examination of the often neglected but important work of this talented author"--

    Yates' existenzielles Lebensthema ist das - immer wieder selbst durchlebte - menschliche Scheitern. Wunderbare, erhellende, gut lesbare Biografie zu R. Yates, der - erst wieder zu entdecken - zu den wichtigsten amerikanischen Autoren des 20. Jahrhunderts gezählt werden muss. (Mario Kowalak) Selten findet sich bei einem Schriftsteller eine derart intensive gegenseitige Durchdringung von Leben und Werk wie bei Richard Yates (1926-1992). Autor und Literaturkritiker R. Moritz macht daher in der 1. deutschsprachigen Biografie zu Yates gar nicht erst den Versuch, Lebens- und Werkbeschreibung voneinander zu trennen; vielfach können biografische Details (etwa das Verhältnis zur Mutter) unmittelbar aus dem Werk Yates' heraus analysiert und zitiert werden. Yates' großes Thema ist das Scheitern (von Erwartungen, Ansprüchen, Beziehungen); das Scheitern namentlich am amerikanischen Traum, der zur traumatischen Belastung werden kann. Moritz' wunderbarem Buch gelingt das Beste, was von einer Schriftsteller-Biografie erhofft werden kann: Es macht Lust darauf, die Werke von Yates, der - im Leben gescheitert, erst nach dem Tod zu Ruhm gekommen - als "wichtigste Wiederentdeckung der amerikanischen Literatur" ("FAZ") gilt, zur Hand zu nehmen. Als Grundstock können neben der Biografie vor allem der Roman "Zeiten des Aufruhrs" (zuletzt BA 3/09) sowie die Kurzgeschichten breit empfohlen werden. (2) (Mario Kowalak)

Yates demonstrates his ability to tease powerful human drama out of the most ordinary, quotidian moments. At the same time, Yates's fiction displays an object lesson in the art of fine prose writing, so it is no surprise that many early fans of Yates were established writers. Charlton-Jones explores how Yates extends the realist form and investigates three main recurring themes of his fiction: observations about performative behavior, which are at the heart of all his fictions; his conception of the writer's role in society; and how he envisages the development of social and sexual relationships. Furthermore, Charlton-Jones illustrates how Yates incorporates some of the concerns and methods of postmodernist writers but how, nevertheless, he resists their ontological challenges. Drawing on the author's personal papers and with a foreword by DeWitt Henry and a special afterword by Richard Yates's daughter Monica, Dismembering the American Dream provides an extended critical examination of the often neglected but important work of this talented author"..
