Mediocrity (by Richard Yates)
About This Novel
A great writer in the age of anxiety, a spokesman for the urban frustrated; Richard Yates's fantasy work of conflicting phantoms confronts our unstable and mediocre life; can we dream again? Facing a life that is about to fall apart and this crazy era. John Wilder never thought that his life would start falling like a free fall from the age of 35. What on earth hindered his originally peaceful and peaceful life? Make him tired of everything in life. His decent and successful job became boring, his gentle and considerate wife made him doubt his love, and he felt powerless and guilty in the face of his increasingly withdrawn child. Endless fatigue came inexplicably, the happiness he had been accustomed to before became fleeting, and everything that was solid began to shake like a phantom. He felt that he was sick, trapped in volatile emotions, alcohol, and self-doubt that became increasingly out of control... "Life is really Is that it?" After questioning himself countless times, he decided to fight against this life that was collapsing halfway. Like many Americans in the 1960s, John Wilder made an unforgettable decision. He wanted to dream again to save this life that was about to fall apart...
