William Trevor is a master of contemporary fiction. He writes with
equal authority about the frustrations of life in remote corners of
Ireland, and the hollowness of life is prosperous London suburbs.
An Anglo-Irishman, Trevor is admired on both sides of the Atlantic,
and both sides of the Irish Sea. In William Trevor: A Study of His
Fiction, first published in 1990, Gregory Schirmer analyses
Trevor's novels (such as A Standard of Behaviour and Fools of
Fortune) and short stories in detail. He argues that Trevor's
writing is important, both in terms of its mastery of fictional
techniques and of the profoundly moral vision that informs it. His
view of twentieth-century men and women is subtle and complex,
generated by the tension between a humanistic faith in compassion
and "connection", and an opposing, more realistic assessment of
contemporary society as alienated and disconnected.
