Richard Yates ReviewRichard Yates (the author) said somewhere, "If my work has a theme, I suspect it is a simple one: that most human beings are inescapably alone, and therein lies their tragedy." Tao Lin has said in multiple interviews that "Richard Yates" is intended to be a non-sequitur, but certain attitudes/ideas/thought patterns I have while reading Richard Yates novels were also activated while reading "Richard Yates."
I read this book in ~2 days, lying in different positions on my bed, sometimes hunched over it uncomfortably or letting my arm go numb from holding it, remembering ways I've acted in relationships. Knowing that this is an autobiographical novel, I expected to 'side' with the Haley character, since it was written by him. However, I felt myself relating strongly to both the Haley and Dakota characters. Neither of them seemed 'right' or 'wrong' for acting in the ways they did. They were just two people doing what they do. It made sense to me, and I think that's what felt the most 'heartbreaking' about this novel. It makes sense for two lonely people with similar sensibilities to meet each other, feel like life is more exciting and worthwhile to live because of the 'world' they create together, start to realize they place different amounts importance on certain behaviors, discover they have different definitions of what it means to 'try' or 'care,' fight what they 'have' together until it is a nearly unrecognizable sliver of what it 'became,' and ultimately end up estranged from each other because they were just doing what seemed to make the most sense for both of them. It just seems like this is what people do. I like reading things like this more than anything, I think. Showcasing that 'fundamental human loneliness' seems to defeat it in a small way.Richard Yates Overview
