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.
想買一本,可封面都太丑了。
评分说不出来的被戳中的感觉
评分我们本来就不具备拥有幸福的能力,天生残缺,接受现实吧!
评分Amazing.
评分以前低估了卡佛的小说,这次很慢很慢地读他的小说,突然有好几篇就打动了我。《Viewfinder》、《Sacks》、《The Bath》等等。从他的小说,你会想到身边的人,甚至就是你自己。这么想着,再看自己的生活,处处是小说。但是,从另一面看,他的小说又缺乏多样性,更缺乏一种危险的气息。

评分这是我很久以前写的一篇文章,在豆瓣卡佛小组里贴过。部分读者觉得卡佛这本书很难读懂,我想这篇文章或许有点帮助。 Warning:这篇文章比这本小说集里任何一篇小说都要长。呵呵。 毁了我父亲的第四件事(译后记) ——从一篇小说的两个版本谈卡佛小说的风格及其演变 ...
