Review:
"Extraordinary . . . Mr. Trevor's sheer intensity of entry into the lives of his people . . . proceeds to uncover new layers of yearning and pain, new angles of vision and credible thought."
--The New York Times Book Review

"One of the finest writers now at work in our language . . . No writer practicing the form today moves with nimbler assurances than Trevor across such an impressive gamut of social types and emotional connections."
--The Boston Globe

"The indisputable master of twentieth-century fiction . . . Trevor's carefully chiseled, lyrical prose--at once ironic and elegiac--is addictive, his insights acutely compassionate. The tales are haunting and profound."
--Publishers Weekly

"A textbook for anyone who ever wanted to write a story, and a treasure for anyone who loves to read them."
--Madision Smartt Bell, USA Today

"The range of characters that Trevor manages to bring onstage is little short of astonishing. . . . A remarkable record of the distinctive imprint that Trevor has left on what is arguably this century's quintessential art form."
--New York Newsday
