Rent A Bit on the Side: Stories

Synopsis

Although a fine novelist, Trevor is a superior short-story writer, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest living exponents of the form. He is on a different plane from his contemporaries....[Trevor] leads us into the recesses of the human heart with the precision of a surgeon and the eloquence of a poet. As usual these stories are models of concision, both exquisitely crafted and minutely observed. Details of speech and quirks of behaviour are distilled down to their essence.....Trevor's characters have their emotions stretched out and dissected on every page, leaving us to marvel at his artistry and feel compassion for their souls.
