Calamity shaped a life when, long ago, chance was so cruel.
William Trevor
By the end, you should be inside your character, actually operating from within somebody else, and knowing him pretty well, as that person knows himself or herself. You're sort of a predator, an invader of people.
William Trevor

William Trevor

William Trevor
