A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

With this, his first collection of stories, Raymond Carver breathed new life into the American short story. Carver shows us the humor and tragedy that dwell in the hearts of ordinary people; his stories are the classics of our time.

"[Carver's stories] can ... be counted among the masterpieces of American Literature." --The New York Times Book Review

"One of the great short story writers of our time--of any time." --The  Philadelhpia Inquirer

"The whole collection is a knock out. Few wriers can match Raymond Carver's entiwining style and language." --The Dallas Morning News 

Quatrième de couverture :

'Carver's stories have a compelling, dry-eyed poignancy, a melancholy but intensely moving authenticity' William Boyd, Daily Telegraph

With this, his first collection, Carver breathed new life into the short story. In the pared-down style that has since become his hallmark, Carver showed how humour and tragedy dwell in the hearts of ordinary people, and won a readership that grew with every subsequent brilliant collection of stories, poems and essays that appeared in the last eleven years of his life.
