Disturbing the Peace: A Novel Book

Hailed as â??Americaâ??s finest realistic novelistâ? by the Boston Globe, Richard Yates, author of Revolutionary Road, garnered rare critical acclaim for his bracing, unsentimental portraits of middle-class American life. Disturbing the Peace is no exception. Haunting, troubling, and mesmerizing, it shines a brilliant, unwavering light into the darkest recesses of a manâ??s psyche.To all appearances, John Wilder has all the trappings of success, circa 1960: a promising career in advertising, a loving family, a beautiful apartment, even a country home. Johnâ??s evenings are spent with associates at quiet Manhattan lounges and his weekends with friends at glittering cocktail parties. But something deep within this seemingly perfect life has long since gone wrong. Something has disturbed Johnâ??s fragile peace, and he can no longer find solace in fleeting affairs or alcohol.

What happens next will send John on a long, strange journeyâ??at once tragic and inevitable.Read More
