The Autobiography of a Contemporary Master
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Admirers of Trevor's masterly fiction will enjoy these incisive, witty, heartbreaking essays revisiting his youth and early adulthood. The short piece about his parents is probably the most moving thing he's ever written. Most writers use autobiography to settle scores; Trevor uses it to give shape to the life of memory--a shape, in its own way, just as artful and just as true as the shape he gives to the life of his fiction.
