In 1996 he was the recipient of the Lannan Award for Fiction. In 2001, he won the Irish Times Literature Prize for fiction. Two of his books were chosen by The New York Times as best books of the year, and his short stories appeared regularly in the New Yorker.

Reviews
"A page-turner marked by brilliant psychological suspense."
--The Philadelphia Inquirer

"Felicia's Journey is packed with extraordinary passages."
--Time

"A battle for the soul, waged between the forces of good and evil . . . Mr. Trevor shows just how wise and wry and funny and morally astute an observer of the human comedy he is."
--Patrick McGrath, The New York Times Book Review

"A thriller lifted to the level of high art . . ."
--Publishers Weekly

"In thirteen novels and eight short-story collections [William Trevor] has shown himself a close observer, a fine stylist, a master psychologist. In Felicia's Journey . . . he brings all these qualities into play, and adds to them a teasing manipulation of the reader's sensibilities, so that the book has the elegant tensions of a high-class thriller."
--The New York Review of Books

"One of the very best writers of our era."
--The Washington Post Book World
