«Gli scapoli delle colline» is William Trevor's short story collection, published by Guanda in paperback (192 pages, in Italian).
The characters in these short stories by William Trevor live trapped in circumstances that do not change and accept their reality with serene resignation, often wondering how their lives might have been. In the title story, a young man returns home to work his father's land on a desolate hill in the west of Ireland, aware that this decision will prevent him from marrying.
Work originally published as «The Hill Bachelors» (2000), in an Italian translation by Laura Pignatti. Included in the «Narratori della Fenice» collection.
