"Eleven Kinds of Loneliness" is a masterpiece of Richard Yates, who focuses his attention on ordinary little people: a child who is isolated by his classmates after transferring to a different school, a young man or woman who is anxious about their upcoming marriages, a serious and responsible instructor who is not understood, a middle-aged white-collar worker who pretends to go out to work even after he has been fired, and a small staff member who has a big vision but has not been able to realize it. ... Yates's writing is gentle, with a touch of humor, but he writes profoundly about the loneliness of the ordinary individual who is out of step with the rhythm of the times, and sketches the contours of the life of the little man who can't help himself. Each of the eleven different stories is the shadow of millions of people, a sigh from the deepest part of the heart. Without realizing it, we are all caught in the net of loneliness woven by Yates, unable to break free, just as everyone cannot escape from his own life.
