In his second collection of stories, as in his first, Carver's characters are peripheral people--people without education, insight or prospects, people too unimaginative to even give up. Carver celebrates these men and women.
Carver was born into a poverty-stricken family at the tail-end of the Depression. The son of a violent alcoholic, he married at 19, started a series of menial jobs and his own career of 'full-time drinking as a serious pursuit'. A career that would eventually kill him. Constantly struggling to support his wife and family Carver enrolled in a writing programme under author John Gardner in 1958 and he saw this as a turning point.
Rejecting the more experimental fiction of the 60s and 70s, he pioneered a precisionist realism reinventing the American short story during the eighties, heading the line of so-called 'dirty realists' or 'K-mart realists'. Set in trailer parks and shopping malls they are stories of banal lives that turn on a seeminlgy insignificant detail. Carver writes with meticulous economy suddenly bringing a life into focus in a similar way to the paintings of Edward Hopper. As well as a master of the short story he was an accomplished poet publishing several highly acclaimed volumes.
After the 'line of demarcation' in Carver's life - 2 June 1977, the day he stopped drinking - his stories become increasingly more redemptive and expansive. Alcohol had eventually shattered his health, his work and his family - his first marriage effectively ending in 1978. He finally married his long-term parter Tess Gallagher (they met ten years earlier at a writers' conference in Dallas) in Reno less than two months before he eventually lost his fight with cancer.
“Raymond Carver's America is helpless, 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 not only enchants, he convinces."

评分还是才疏学浅,没怎么读懂,不过有几篇气氛很好
评分想買一本,可封面都太丑了。
现在谈论卡佛已经逐渐有了一种反讽的意味。我们写的评论比他的小说还要长,我们说的话比他笔下的人物的还要多,我们制造了喧嚣评价他的沉默,我们把他的简约看成了流行和时尚,对他背后大半生遭受的困难视而不见。卡佛在中文语境里受到的追捧已经遮蔽了他的小说与现实世界的关...
评分1、《你们为什么不跳个舞》 某种废墟上的舞蹈 2、《取景框》 房子是最后的定格,扔掉毁掉湖面平静的石头。 3、《凉亭》 锁住了,封门了。过客。 剖析龌龊往昔,悲愤荒芜了现在,预言着未来。 当一切过去过不去,谁会在自我折磨中,有重生的勇气。 凉亭,物是人非,那时美好爱...
评分【一】 我一直在研究人类的行为心理学,一项事物能够进行研究,那么说明那是有规律可循的。因为我一直认为,人做任何事情,都是有前因后果的。很多行为看似没有任何征兆,但是它的爆发常常是隐藏在很多琐碎细小的情节中的。 譬如说,一个写出了“黑夜给了我黑色的眼睛,我却用...

评分长篇或中篇小说中总会透露给人种种时代印记、作者寓意的信息,而当面对一篇篇短小精悍的短篇小说时,好像应该谈论些什么,又好像什么都不用谈论只能支吾着:“你看吧,反正是一本不错的小说。” “隐喻”、“新小说”、“寓言式”这一系列的词显得既强加阐释又像是废话...
