<b>A marvelous collection from "the greatest living writer of short stories in the English language" (<i>The New Yorker</i>). </b> <br /><br /> Four-time winner of the O. Henry Prize, three-time winner of the Whitbread Prize, and five-time finalist for the Man Booker Prize, William Trevor is one of the most acclaimed authors of our time. Over a career spanning more than half a century, Trevor has crafted exquisitely rendered tales that brilliantly illuminate the human condition. Bringing together forty-eight stories from <i>After Rain, The Hill Bachelors, A Bit on the Side</i>, and <i>Cheating at Canasta</i>, this second volume of Trevor's collected fiction offers readers "treasures of gorgeous writing, brilliant dialogue, and unforgettable lives" (<i>The New York Times Book Review</i>).
