…showed last 75 words of 969 total…have been so
inappropriate within the context of the story. The author chose to confine his exposition to the
events surrounding a single week in the life of one man. He chose not to litter his composition
with petty subplots or savvy dialogue but to sincerely express the essence of a common man.
I truly enjoyed William Trevor’s “Of the Cloth” and look forward to reading further works
by this adept and talented author.
