The book I’m ashamed not to have read
I don’t feel shame about reading habits. Reading anything because you think you “should” doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. It seems more pleasurable and more useful to follow whatever bizarre interests and tastes are peculiar to you.

Joyce Carol Oates on William Trevor NYT 1977

Trevor evokes potentially tragic situations that do not develop into tragedy: He gives life to quite ordinary people -- men, women and children -- who find themselves locked together by a single event and who are forced to reassess themselves and, as a consequence, their relationships.
