Charlton-Jones’s research is impressive, as is her ability to apply it in a focused and acute way. Enthusiasm for her subject occasionally undermines the authority of her critical voice, with the occasional slip into a conversational tone. But Dismembering the American Dream is an impressive piece of scholarship, redeeming Yates from misunderstanding and neglect.\"\" —\u003cem\u003eTimes Literary Supplement\u003c\/em\u003e","brand":"The University of Alabama Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51138184315223,"sku":"9780817358594","price":25.46,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780817358594.jpg?v=1751918343","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/dismembering-the-american-dream-the-life-and-fiction-of-richard-yates-9780817358594","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
