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 parentsâ unstable marriage after a horrible tragedy; a schoolgirl regrets gossiping about the cuckolded man who tutors her; and, in the volumeâs title story, a middle-aged accountant offers his reasons for ending a love affair. At the heart of this stunning collection is Trevorâs characteristic tenderness and unflinching eye for both the humanizing and dehumanizing aspects of modern urban and rural life.
