  • "In The Clothes They Stood Up In, the staid Ransomes return from the opera to find their Regent's Park flat stripped bare--right down to the toilet-paper roll. Free of all their earthly belongings, the couple faces a perplexing question: Who are they without the things they've spent a lifetime accumulating? Suddenly a world of unlimited, frightening possibility opens up before them. In "The Lady in the Van," Bennett recounts the strange life of Miss Shepherd, a London eccentric who parked her van (overstuffed with decades' worth of old clothes, oozing batteries, and kitchen utensils still in their original packaging) in the author's driveway for more than fifteen years."
  • "Le premier texte raconte la nouvelle vie des Ransome, après que l'on ait dévalisé leur appartement. Le second évoque l'émoi exagéré suscité par la disparition d'un masseur."

  • "Trovarsi la casa svaligiata dai ladri è senza dubbio un evento sinistro. Ma se spariscono anche la moquette, il rotolo della carta igienica, il forno e l'arrosto che attendeva lo scatto del timer, è palese che non può trattarsi di un semplice furto."
  • "Rentrant d'une soirée à l'opéra, les Ransome trouvent leur appartement entièrement dévalisé. On leur a tout volé, de l'argenterie au papier hygiénique. Madame Ransome s'effondre en larmes. Monsieur, lui, ne pense qu'à gruger l'assurance et à se faire rembourser son précieux équipement hi-fi. Libérée de la routine, Rosemary fait des folies et son mari s'étiole dans le ressentiment."

  • "The Clothes They Stood Up In is Alan Bennett's first story. Like Charles Dickens' novels which were first published in magazines, it originally appeared in the London Review of Books - which the author says 'seems to me (and not just because I occasionally contribute to it) the liveliest, most serious and also the most radical literary periodical we have'."@en
