As William Trevor records his migration from the shabby-genteel precincts of Ireland's Protestant middle-class to the sleek vulgarity of London in the swinging sixties, from Cork and Dublin to New York and Isfahan, he yields luminous portraits of the people whose paths crossed his. There is the roaring schoolmaster with the passion for spelling bees; the glamorous emigre with a weakness for faithless poets. There are Trevor's parents, marooned in a marriage that grew more arid by the year. In \"Excursions in the Real World,\" Trevor turns memory into a fabulous balancing act between truthfulness and art.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Excursions in the Real World: Memoirs | William Trevor | Paperback | 9780140240290 | Used: Like New | Memoir 1625138","offer_id":50699093508354,"sku":"1625138","price":21.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/51oEf69J3zL.jpg?v=1791580083","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/excursions-in-the-real-world-memoirs","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
