Explanation In Favor Of Books Where I'm Calling From: New and Selected Stories

By the time of his early death in 1988, Raymond Carver had established himself as one of the greatest practitioners of the American short story, a writer who had not only found his own voice but imprinted it in the imaginations of thousands of readers. 'Where I'm Calling From', his last collection, encompasses classic stories from 'Cathedral', 'What We Talk About When We Talk About Love' and earlier Carver volumes, along with seven new works previosly unpublished in book form. Together, these 37 stories give us a superb overview of Carver's life work and show us why he was so widely imitated but never equaled.

Devo dire che con nessun altro autore l'effetto sorpresa è stato più violento che con Carver. Le tre ore senza interruzioni in cui mi spazzolai da cima a fondo Di cosa parliamo quando parliamo damore rimarranno una delle mie esperienze più significative di lettore, le paragonai ad una donna incontrata in vacanza. Se quella stessa donna te la porti a casa la magia finisce; inizia qualcosaltro, ma la magia va persa. Alcuni racconti sono la versione extended di quelli pubblicati in altre raccolte.

http://tinyurl.com/4a63ubThere's something about reading short stories that really appeals to me. 1) They go by fast. 2) There's a whole cosmos in 10 pages. 3) Only the best can do them right.I'd never read a Carver story, but I have seen Short Cuts (based on Carver stories). A couple of those are in this collection, notably "A Good Small Thing" (which you'll remember as the Lyle Lovett piece)-- breath-taking in its depth and breadth of emotion. Most of Carver's stories are about drinking and

This was a casual re-readI fell out of a Carver mood mid-book so I'm out. I stand by what I said last time below anyway :)Some excellent, some great, too many overall- dampens the effect of each.The stories from Cathedral and especially Elephant are his best :)

Obliquity & ellipses define Carver's minimal prose. It's a threadbare style that doesn't give you much to chew on but somehow it captures the threadbare lives scattered across these stories perfectly. There's sadness & desolation here that would numb you to the point of oblivion, the coiling despair tightening & tightening around you like a python's grip till you are swallowed whole into its blackness. Carver takes the ephemera and flotsam of non-descript, everyday life that no one
