The writing is good minimalist fair. Unfortunately, most of the stories didn't appeal to me. The writing isn't my taste either. Does this make sense? I could see why many would love this book of stories, but for me I will pass on future Carver. ( ) The most interesting thing about this book to me is that Raymond Carver's widow Tess Gallagher claims that Carver wrote much longer stories and his editor cut them down without Carver's blessing. You can read a NYT article about it here. I tracked down these "original" versions of the stories and they are much more fleshed out and provide a lot of answers to things that made me go "Huh?" in the WWTAWWTAL versions. For example, the story "The Bath" (where a mother has a cake made for her son who's later hospitalized after being hit by a car) is kind of unsatisfactory in the authoritative version. But the longer version I read called "A Small, Good Thing" had so much more going on. It was almost kind of redemptive. So, if you read this, I'd recommend going out and finding the longer versions of some of these stories. Totally worth it, and good fodder for discussion. When you read a paper looking for the book reviews, you turn to The Arts section. Sometimes it's even called The Arts & Style Section. Consequently, when you read a work of fiction, you expect some arts & style. Sadly,this collection of short stories has neither. I am at a complete loss as to why Carver has won so many awards, and is considered such an important and influential American writer. His writing is so stark and so simple. These stories could have been written by a High School student in an English Composition class. Now, most of Carver's characters lead stark and simple lives, so I can accept that he wants the writing to mirror the characters. But c'mon, give me a little bit of alliteration, a couple of similes, a few metaphors. That's not to much to ask for, is it ? I felt like I was there I will read it again and again. Never been to the Northwest but I have, feel like each character I feel like I've had the same moments in my life, the whole book is like a child watching their parents argue from the edge of the doorway. Had a new strategy with this short story collection because I read Strange Pilgrims too quickly: read one story in the morning, and at nigh, read the same story. Would recommend, good way to read collections thank you. Aquí están la atmósfera y los personajes de un autor que dominó indiscutiblemente el panorama literario norteamericano de los años ochenta del siglo XX. Parejas que se despedazan, compañeros que parten desesperadamente a la aventura, hijos que intentan comunicarse con sus padres, un universo injusto, violento, tenso, a veces irrisorio.
Carvers Meisterschaft liegt in der Auslassung, in der planvollen Konstruktion textueller Gebilde, die auf dem ersten Blick lediglich triviale oder banale Oberflächen abbilden, unter denen jedoch Tiefen oder Untiefen lauern, auf die der Leser kaum vorbereitet ist. Häufig schmuggelt Carver unmerklich Tretminen in die Texte, die zunächst wie kaum merkliche Beiläufigkeiten erscheinen und erst am Schluss ihre Sprengkraft offenbaren. Diese Technik verleiht den Geschichten Carvers eine verstörende Irritation, die das vie quotiedienne als unablässige Sequenz von Katastrophen erfahren lässt. Die Lektüre vermittelt den Eindruck, als ob man den Inhalt zwischen den Zeilen nicht erfasst habe. "Da war noch mehr an der Geschichte", resümiert einer von Carvers Protagonisten, "und sie versuchte, es sich ein für alle Mal von der Seele zu reden. Nach einiger Zeit gab sie den Versuch auf."

In his second collection, including the iconic and much-referenced title story featured in the Academy Award-winning film Birdman, Raymond Carver establishes his reputation as one of the most celebrated short-story writers in American literature. What We Talk About When We Talk About Love is a haunting meditation on love, loss, and companionship, and finding one's way through the dark. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
