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.
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。
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...

评分这一本的故事都不陌生,有几个被串成了一部电影,译为《浮世男女》 在谈话中,如果双方对于某个概念的认识程度不同,很有可能无法展开对话 要不是一方给另一方讲课,就是双方误解、争吵、闹僵、一拍两散 就好像许多男人很难把爱挂在嘴边,也许爱情在他心中太过于神圣和沉重 但...

评分昏睡2个多小时后,我醒过来,脑子里的第一个念头竟然是:卡佛的小说并没有灰暗到那个程度。 听了一整天的竞聘演讲,任谁都是要昏昏欲睡的。我在现场却怎么也无法睡着。回家吃过饭后,便径直和衣躺倒床上。 我在竞聘者或慷慨激昂或害羞紧张或不知所云的发言中埋头看完《当我们...
