OF THIS TIME, OF THAT PLACE AND OTHER STORIES

Five stories by the noted critic, two of which—the title story and "The Other Margaret"—have been widely anthologized since their first appearance in Partisan Review in the mid-Forties. A third is a fairly well-known story that first appeared in Harper's Bazaar in 1945: "The Lesson and the Secret." And the remaining two—"Impediments" and "Notes on a Departure"—appeared in The Menorah Journal in the Twenties, one when Trilling was only 21, the other four years later. Both are set—as are two of the other three—on a college campus. The only known short Trilling fiction, brought together in book form for the first time.
