Moody, The Ice Storm (Boston, MA, 1994); and J. Eugenidies, The Virgin Suicides (New York, 1993). These newer works are infused with a different tone than those by first–generation 'suburban novelists' Richard Yates, John Updike and John Cheever. Though familial discord and loss still loom large, the later generation often generates suburban reveries tinged with melancholic fondness rather than the bitter existential crises of earlier narratives. On suburban literature's evolution, see R. Beuka, SuburbiaNation: Reading Suburban Landscape in Twentieth-Century American Fiction and Film (New York, 2004).
