I read Revolutionary Road years ago, and I remember it was very good. This was his very first novel, I believe, and I’m guessing that the later novels should be even stronger.
Should I read something else by him? How about The Easter Parade? Does anybody recommend?

I loved his collection of short stories titled “Eleven Kinds of Loneliness” more than “Revolutionary Road“.
//First published in 1962, a year after Revolutionary Road , this sublime collection of stories seems even more powerful today. Out of the lives of Manhattan office workers, a cab driver seeking immortality, frustrated would-be novelists, suburban men and their yearning, neglected women, Richard Yates creates a haunting mosaic of the 1950s, the era when the AmericanĀ dream was finally coming true – and just beginning to ring a little hollow. //
// Richard Yates’s unflinchingly realistic stories explore loneliness, but they don’t neglect failure, cruelty, and heartbreak. Most of the stories feature men who have been disappointed, somehow, by their inability to go on and fulfill the promise of their youth. //
I also read another novel of his – “Cold Spring Harbor”, but liked it much less than the other two works.ā
