The unparalleled short story collection by the great Raymond Carver, master of spare, powerful prose and one of the great American short story writers.

This powerful collection of stories is set in the mid-West among the lonely men and women who drink, fish and play cards to ease the passing of time. In the opening story a man whose wife and children have left him, rearranges all his furniture on the lawn. And in each subsequent story sadness, pain and drudgery propel the characters towards their fate. But through the darkness, vivid colloquial narration and a razor-sharp sense of how people really communicate illuminate all the comedy and tragedy of ordinary life.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Raymond Carver

Raymond Carver nasceu no Oregon em 1938. Casou-se muito cedo, o que o obrigou a relegar a escrita para segundo plano para poder sustentar a família. Publicou regularmente em revistas, mas só começou a ser conhecido com Will you Please be Quiet, Please? O livro que o consagrou foi De Que Falamos Quando Falamos de Amor, que, sabe-se hoje, é uma versão drasticamente editada de Beginners — o conjunto de contos originais que Carver apresentou à Alfred A. Knopf e que a Quetzal agora publica com o título O Que Sabemos do Amor. Um dos maiores contistas norte-americanos do século XX, Raymond Carver foi também poeta e ensaísta.
