What are some books that depict American lives during the 40s, 50s and 60s, similar to the works of Richard Yates or John Updike?

Because I compared him to Updike?
I like Yates a lot more, too.

I should have asked for middle class/ family life of the 50s to be more specific, but I'll add this to my list either way.

I wrote a novel set in the '50s, but it's unpublished.
