I was invited to select a story from The New Yorker’s archive to read for their Fiction Podcast. I selected “Bravado,” by William Trevor, which appeared in a 2007 issue of the magazine. Fiction Editor Deborah Treisman and I then had a lovely conversation about it and what I love about William Trevor’s writing.
With Deborah Treisman, “Elizabeth Strout Reads William Trevor,” The New Yorker Fiction Podcast, November 1, 2020.
