Автор Уильям Тревор
“Often spoken of in the same breath as Joyce and Chekov, Trevor shares both writers’ subtlety and, like them, is able to create distinct and mysterious worlds. ”
—
“One of the greatest writers alive. ”
—
“The greatest living writer in English is an Anglo-Irishman named William Trevor. … It might seem presumptuous to speak about Trevor in Shakespearean terms, but he is among the few contemporary writers who warrant the comparison. … [He is] the reigning lion of fiction in English. ”
—
“An extraordinary mellifluous writer, seemingly incapable of composing an ungraceful sentence. ”
“One of the pre-eminent writers of his generation. He is arguably the finest story writer from the era that may have seen the form reach its apex. … Trevor’s stories always seem effortless … but their easy grace belies an incredible amount of writerly craft. ”
—
“[Trevor] is more worth reading than practically any other novelist now writing in English. ”
—
“One of the very best writers of our era. ”
