The final story collection from “one of the great short story writers of our time” (The Philadelphia Inquirer) features classic stories from Cathedral, What We Talk About When We Talk About Love, and earlier volumes. • “Among the masterpieces of American fiction." —The New York Times Book Review By the time of his early death in 1988, Raymond Carver had established himself as one of the great 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 Where I’m Calling From, his last collection, includes seven new works previously unpublished in book form.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.
Carver Raymond Knihy
Raymond Carver bol priekopníkom precízneho realizmu, ktorý v 80. rokoch pretvoril americkú poviedku. Jeho diela, zasadené do všedných prostredí, sa zameriavajú na zdanlivo bezvýznamné detaily, ktoré odhaľujú hlbšiu pravdu o ľudských životoch. Carver písal s precíznou úspornosťou, podobne ako maliari ako Edward Hopper zachytávajú momenty v čase. Po prekonaní závislosti na alkohole sa jeho tvorba stala viac vykupiteľskou a rozsiahlejšou, odrážajúcou premenu jeho vlastného života.
