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.

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.

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...

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...

《凉亭》是卡佛这本短篇集里给我印象最深的一篇。 这篇里的男主角叫杜安,女主角叫霍莉。 卡佛的好些短篇里的男女主角都是没有名字的。很多时候他们面目模糊,缺失的心理活动也只能靠读者根据他们的语言和动作来补足。于是,他们有没有名字,其实不太重要。我们知道,他们都属...

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...

卡佛的小说根本不落俗套,你永远猜不到主角接下来要做什么,因为你从来就没摸着过头脑!看完之后只有一种想法:活着简直太悲摧了,每个人都闷闷不乐像是抑郁症患者、疯子、狂躁症不治人士、暴力狂。What we talk about when we talk about love? What we talk about when we talk about life?日复一日没有念想的重复平庸地生活,可被替代的恋人,可有可无的恼人的孩子。这样的生活,是不是可以鱼死网破,抑或一死了之?

评分

想像卡佛工作一天后伏在厨房的桌上写短篇,窗外可能刮风下雪春夏秋冬,而在这屋子内,卡佛终于有了一刻自己的空间。所以即使没有海明威式的异国经验或作家的咖啡馆,卡佛并不消极。

“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."
