Description
'There is no better short story writer in the English-speaking world' Wall Street Journal
''No matter what ' Julia had said aware then of what was coming 'let's always play cards.' And they did; for even with her memory gone a little more of it each day - her children taken her house her flowerbeds belongings clothes - their games in the communal drawing room were a reality her affliction allowed.'
A husband sits in Harry's Bar in Venice thinking of his wife - lost to him now - whose plea has brought him back to one of their favourite haunts. On another table a young couple quarrel. 'Cheating at Canasta' is the title story of William Trevor's collection his first since the highly acclaimed A Bit on the Side and its themes of missed opportunities the inevitability of change and the powerful but fragmentary quality of our memories are entirely characteristic of his unparalleled oeuvre.
