Simple Men ; Trust

Simple Men tells the story of two brothers, Bill and Dennis McCabe. Dennis is a quietly handsome, inexperienced, bookish student, while his older brother is a rough-hewn ladies' man who verges on misogyny. Thrown together to search for their long-lost father, the pair crash into confrontations with their expectations of themselves and their attitudes towards women.

Trust is a droll analysis of family violence and the moral courage it takes to defeat it and assume faith in others.

Also contained in this volume is an exhaustive interview in which Hartley explores both the personal and creative aspects of his work.
