Description
William Trevor, a master of the short story, returns with a collection that delves into the quiet desperation and hidden lives of ordinary people. In "A Bit on the Side," twelve meticulously crafted narratives explore moments of profound loneliness, unexpected encounters, and the subtle ways in which lives intersect and diverge. From clandestine meetings in theatre bars to the lingering regrets of past choices, Trevor's characters grapple with themes of isolation, memory, and the elusive nature of happiness. His signature understated prose and keen psychological insight reveal the complex inner worlds that lie beneath the surface of everyday existence.
