Description

First published in 1962, annually after Groundbreaking Street, this collection of tales today appears much more effective. From the lifestyles of Manhattan workers in offices, a cab-driver seeking immortality, disappointed would-be writers, suburban males and their longing, forgotten ladies, Rich Yates produces a haunting variety of the 1950s, the period once the National dream was finally coming true - and only starting to ring only a little hollow.
