Richard Yates: his life and works, discussed by John Fanagan
Mar 18th, 2009 by sccenglish
Our second podcast is an interview with former Head of Department, John Fanagan, who has been discovering the works of the American novelist Richard Yates (1926-92). Somewhat neglected since his death, this has changed thanks to the success of the recent film of his novel Revolutionary Road. John discusses Yates's 'disaster area' of a private life, and several novels and short stories.
