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 Where I’m Calling From, his last collection, includes seven new works previously unpublished in book form.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 Libri
Raymond Carver è stato un pioniere del realismo di precisione che ha reinventato il racconto americano negli anni '80. Le sue opere, spesso ambientate in luoghi comuni, si concentrano su dettagli apparentemente insignificanti che rivelano profonde verità sulla vita umana. Carver scriveva con meticolosa economia, mettendo a fuoco le vite in modo vivido, simile ai dipinti di Edward Hopper. Dopo aver raggiunto la sobrietà, le sue storie divennero sempre più redentive ed espansive, rispecchiando la sua trasformazione personale.
