RAYMOND CARVER was born in Clatskanie, Oregon, in 1938. His first collection of stories, Will You Please Be Quiet, Please (a National Book Award nominee in 1977), was followed by What We Talk About When We Talk About Love, Cathedral (nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in 1984), and Where I'm Calling From in 1988, when he was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He died August 2, 1988, shortly after completing the poems of A New Path to the Waterfall.
"One of the true contemporary masters." —The New York Review
of Books
"Carver's fiction is so spare in manner that it takes a time before
one realizes how completely a whole culture and a whole moral
condition is represented by even the most seemingly slight sketch.
This second volume of stories is clearly the work of a full-grown
master." —Frank Kermode
"Raymond Carver's America is ... clouded by pain and the loss of
dreams, but it is not as fragile as it looks. It is a place of
survivors and a place of stories.... [Carver] has done what many of
the most gifted writers fail to do: He has invented a country of
his own, like no other except that very world, as Wordsworth said,
which is the world to all of us." —The New York Times Book
Review
"Splendid.... The collection as a whole, unlike most, begins to
grow and resonate in a wonderful cumulative effect." —Chicago
Tribune Book World
"Carver not only enchants, he convinces." —Time
