I don't write about villains and lovers, but I do write about the possessed or the obsessed...
A William Trevor novel, short story, or television play is instantly recognisable by its remarkable combination of the comic, the grotesque and the tragic. His first novel, The Old Boys, which won the Hawlhornden Prize in 1964, concerned the septuagenarian intrigues surrounding the election of a chairman for an Old Boys' Association.
In his latest hook Other People's World published this week, the worlds of a middle-aged widow and an actor collide with horrific results.
WILLIAM TREVOR talks to Mark Storey about his diverse activities as novelist, short-story writer and dramatist.
