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."

评分谢谢小唐~~ vessel vassal~~
评分只读过封面故事,在美国文学史里读到的?记不清了。总之是一个莫名其妙的故事。
评分Amazing.
卡佛的故事太简单了。小青年们在需要装逼时,往往喜欢使用卡夫卡博尔赫斯卡尔维诺纳博科夫之类的作家,他们用文字织迷宫玩智力游戏,从一个意象上就可以抽出无数条扯不断的支线丝网,每条支线都可以是金闪闪的装逼点。而卡佛的故事太简单了。就是个素面玻璃杯,一眼就能看穿,...
评分作为一个紧跟时代潮流的八卦爱好者,除了坚持收看网易新闻及评论,定期查阅豆瓣流行之外,我一直按时收看江苏台的《非诚勿扰》,某期,一位文艺青年送心仪女生本小说,我猜就是这本。当时我就愕然了,现在文艺青年装逼都开始秀这本书了,简直比45度仰望天空。悲伤逆流成河还令...
评分买了本原版的卡佛作品集,试着有空做翻译练习。想有个对照,于是买了这本小二翻译的《当我们谈论爱情时我们在谈论什么》。看了三篇,可以判断这本翻译相当糟糕,想不明白译林出版社是怎么审核就让这书出版的。我自己不是什么高手,但不是高手的人也可以看出别人糟糕的地方。这...
评分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...
