About this listen
NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST • Frank and April Wheeler are a bright, beautiful, talented couple in the 1950s whose perfect suburban life is about to crumble in this "moving and absorbing story” (The Atlantic Monthly) from one of the most acclaimed writers of the twentieth century.
"The Great Gatsby of my time...one of the best books by a member of my generation." —Kurt Vonnegut, acclaimed author of Slaughterhouse-Five
Perhaps Frank and April Wheeler married too young and started a family too early. Maybe Frank's job is dull. And April never saw herself as a housewife. Yet they have always lived on the assumption that greatness is only just around the corner. But now that certainty is about to unravel. With heartbreaking compassion and remorseless clarity, Richard Yates shows how Frank and April mortgage their spiritual birthright, betraying not only each other, but their best selves.
In his introduction to this edition, novelist Richard Ford pays homage to the lasting influence and enduring power of Revolutionary Road.

"The Great Gatsby of my time ... one of the best books by a member of my generation." —Kurt Vonnegut, acclaimed author of Slaughterhouse-Five
"Beautifully crafted ... a remarkable and deeply troubling book." —Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

Best Reader ever!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I was hesitant to listen to an audiobook because I knew it would be annoying if the reader intoned things differently than I would have in my head. How lucky I was to find a book read by Mark Bramhall! He is one of the best readers I've heard in my life, probably THE best American reader! In fact his reading reminded me very much of the way my father would read books when I was a child. He is so skilled that you can actually hear the smallest punctuation marks in his voice- little things like parentheses, dashes, and quotation marks! Such a joy to listen to, I wish I could give him more than five stars!
