Raymond Carver's Distinctive Short Fiction

From: new and selected stories
By: author Raymond Carver

When Raymond Carver passed away at the early age of 1988, he had firmly established himself as one of the greatest writers in American short fiction. Not only did he find his own voice, but it also left an indelible mark on countless readers’ imaginations.

The collection Where Im Calling From encompasses classic stories from Carver’s works Cathedral, What We Talk About When We Talk About Love, and other previously unpublished novels. It also includes seven newly discovered short works that had not been published in book form before.

Together, these 37 stories offer a comprehensive overview of Carver’s body of work and reveal why he was so widely emulated yet never matched.
