Survivor: A Novel»rank: 503par: Chuck Palahniuk
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Some say that the apocalypse swiftly approacheth, but that simply ain't so according to Chuck Palahniuk. 0h no. lt's already here, living in the head of the guy who just crossed the street in front of you, or maybe even closer than that.

Revolutionary Road»rank: 6447par: Richard Yates
Chroniques et points de vue:From :The rediscovery and rejuvenation of Richard Yates's 1961 novel Revolutionary Road is due in large part to its continuing emotional and moral resonance for an early 21st-century readership. April and Frank Wheeler are a young, ostensibly thriving couple living with their two children in a prosperous Connecticut suburb in the mid-1950s. However, like the characters in John Updike's similarly themed Couples, the self-assured exterior masks a creeping frustration at their inability to feel fulfilled in their relationships or careers. Frank is mired in a well-paying but boring office job ... |
