Publisher Description
William Trevor's Last Stories is forthcoming from Viking.
In these twelve stories, a waiter divulges a shocking life of crime to his ex-wife; a woman repeats the story of her parents’ unstable marriage after a horrible tragedy; a schoolgirl regrets gossiping about the cuckolded man who tutors her; and, in the volume’s title story, a middle-aged accountant offers his reasons for ending a love affair. At the heart of this stunning collection is Trevor’s characteristic tenderness and unflinching eye for both the humanizing and dehumanizing aspects of modern urban and rural life.

Disappointing
I enjoy Trevor's books but did not find his short stories enjoyable or stimulating so will keep to his books such as Love and Summer, etc. Good author with a simple approach but stimulating nonetheless with good emotional pull and characterization...EAF
