...Stories of William Trevor will surely establish Trevor as one of the most masterful post-War practitioners of the genre. These 800 pages contain a formidable array of stories--stories which delve into the comic and tragic interiors of ordinary lives, revealing an extraordinary subtlety of observation and perception.

While state authorities discredit this analysis, Harvard officials have essentially assented to it and have not lobbied heavily against the reforms.
