The Easter Parade

"If that’s not his cup of tea, he could chase it down with Richard Yates, maybe “The Easter Parade.”"

"I love Richard Yates because his prose is brilliantly unpretentious. It's literary but doesn't feel fancy. And I cannot get enough of those depressing Grimes sisters."

"You gotta read Easter Parade. It basically starts off saying here are these two characters and their lives are miserable and I’m going to tell you why. It’s uncompromising. He’s not interested in entertaining you at all. He’s just trying to get at it."
