Eleven Kinds of Loneliness

Eleven Kinds of Loneliness

"Eleven Kinds of Loneliness" was a collection of short stories by Richard Yates between the years of 1951 and 1961. It was published in 1962 after his first novel, "Revolutionary Road", which was published in 1961. "Eleven Kinds of Loneliness" follows the lives of average Manhattan citizens: office workers, a cab driver with visions of immortality, frustrated would-be novelists, a suburban haunting, painting a subtly shaded mosaic of the 1950s, the era when the American dream was finally coming true — and just beginning to ring a little hollow.

All of the stories in "Eleven Kinds of Loneliness" also appeared in the posthumously released "Collected Stories of Richard Yates" (2001).
