The first collection of stories from “one of the great short story writers of our time” (The Philadelphia Inquirer) breathed new life into the American short story, showing us the humor and tragedy that dwell in the hearts of ordinary people."[Carver's stories] can ... be counted among the masterpieces of American Literature." —The New York Times Book Review"One of the great short story writers of our time—of any time." —The Philadelhpia Inquirer"The whole collection is a knock out. Few writers can match Raymond Carver's entwining style and language." —The Dallas Morning News
Carver writes with a rare and magnificent simplicity, straightforwardness, and muscularity rivaled perhaps only by Hemingway. His prose is taut, lean, and gets the job done efficiently, but is also remarkably deep in its themes and vivid in its imagery, and his characters sound and feel as real as flesh-and-blood humans. Highly recommended for lovers of short stories and great American fiction.
