Excursions in the Real World

Twenty-nine autobiographical sketches begin with 'Places do not die as people do, but they often change so fundamentally that little is left of what they once were'.

The fragments that make up this memoir – William Trevor's childhood, parent's marriage, Dublin education, rural, small-town life – are vintage Trevor.

There are also short essays on his travels in Venice and Iran and illustrations by Lucy Willis.
