    The William Trevor Reader: “The Blue Dress”

    by Adam O’Fallon Price Nov 29, 2022 3 minutes

    This might receive my vote for the worst story in the collection so far. A number of other candidates spring to mind, many of them of the “People Losing Their Shit at a Party” variety, perhaps just because of the preponderance of that type. “The Blue Dress” should probably be awarded points for at least trying something new, but its execution might be the weakest.

    We begin in narrative confusion with the narrator—we come to learn-style, while the brothers watch, a crime afterward abetted by Dr. Lysarth and covered up until now.
