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.

在伦敦到扒梨的高铁上,在爱妃铁塔下的三个小时读完了这本书,我他妈也不想这么作,可是我真的好讨厌铁塔啊宁愿下面河边待着。

很短,口语化,非常美国,使得有些段落不那么好读。看完我厌男症又要发作了....

Raymond Carver的短篇和Edward Hopper的油画简直是绝配……20年代美国普罗大众生活的全部缩影。一样的悲伤、孤独,一篇篇讲述的也只是“活着”这个简单的议题,只不过他常常也像是James Salter一样聚焦在婚姻、两性、友情等议题上,但大场景下又不乏性别歧视、贫富不均、女性的家庭和社会地位等息息相关的宏观层面问题,平淡剪短的笔触寥寥勾勒,一幅幅美国乡村的画卷就徐徐展开了,你会... Raymond Carver的短篇和Edward Hopper的油画简直是绝配……20年代美国普罗大众生活的全部缩影。一样的悲伤、孤独,一篇篇讲述的也只是“活着”这个简单的议题,只不过他常常也像是James Salter一样聚焦在婚姻、两性、友情等议题上,但大场景下又不乏性别歧视、贫富不均、女性的家庭和社会地位等息息相关的宏观层面问题,平淡剪短的笔触寥寥勾勒,一幅幅美国乡村的画卷就徐徐展开了,你会发现在那一幢幢house里面的人性,就也像是Hopper的画里面那些你从熟识的背影。写的太好了。 (展开)

没看懂就不瞎评了

有些很喜欢,个别没看懂,还有一篇实在看不下去。我不喜欢他的题材,也不喜欢他的写法。这大约是我个人的问题。

久闻大名十几年,头一回看卡佛。这感觉像是去庙会猜灯谜,谜面谜目都清楚,谜底好像有无数种可能,谁说的都挺有道理。很投入,结束之后意犹未尽,就这种感觉。

确实是极简,有时候感觉简得过分了,故意耍酷一样,给读者留了很大猜想空间,不过听说有编辑删减的缘故。很多篇都是写离异和男女感情问题,有时卡佛的这种留白也确实能唤起读者对自己的观照。
