The first biography of america’s best-known short story writer of the late twentieth century. The London Times called Raymond Carver "the American Chekhov." The beloved, mischievous, but more modest short-story writer and poet thought of himself as "a lucky man" whose renunciation of alcohol allowed him to live "ten years longer than I or anyone expected." In that last decade, Carver became the leading figure in a resurgence of the short story. Readers embraced his precise, sad, often funny and poignant tales of ordinary people and their troubles: poverty, drunkenness, embittered marriages, difficulties brought on by neglect rather than intent. Since Carver died in 1988 at age fifty, his legacy has been mythologized by admirers and tainted by controversy over a zealous editor’s shaping of his first two story collections. Carol Sklenicka penetrates the myths and controversies. Her decade-long search of archives across the United States and her extensive interviews with Carver’s relatives, friends, and colleagues have enabled her to write the definitive story of the iconic literary figure. Laced with the voices of people who knew Carver intimately, her biography offers a fresh appreciation of his work and an unbiased, vivid portrait of the writer.

"Raymond Carver, known in some circles as the "godfather of minimalism," has been credited by many as the rejuvenator of the once-dying American short story. Drawing on representative tales from each of Carver's major volumes of fiction, Nesset's critical exploration leads us deep into the heart of Carver country, an eerie post-industrial world of low-rent survivors." "In this comprehensive study of Carver, Nesset discusses the relationship of minimalism and postmodern trends and the rise of new realism. By locating Carver in the gallery of American letters, Nesset shows him to be at once more simple and more complex than we might have believed, skillfully laying the groundwork for Carver studies to come."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

An acknowledged master of the short story, Raymond Carver (1938-88) excelled at portraying the hardscrabble existence of blue-collar workers frustrated and disillusioned by the false promises of the American dream. This terrain was well known to Carver, who long worked at blue-collar jobs to support his family and personally struggled with the transiency, alcoholism, economic privation, and despair he depicts so poignantly in his fiction. At the same time, he overcame these obstacles - aided by, among others, the writer John Gardner, the editor Gordon Lish, and the poet Tess Gallagher - to become a major figure in the resurgence of the short story and the revival of realistic writing. For collections like Will You Please Be Quiet, Please?, What We Talk About When We Talk about Love, and the magnificent Cathedral, Carver won honor after honor, including nominations for the National Book Award, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize. And with the 1993 release of Robert Altman's film Short Cuts, Carver, long known to readers of serious fiction, attained widespread public recognition. Tracing these themes and more is Adam Meyer's Raymond Carver, which considers more of the writer's fiction and poetry than has any previous book-length study. Writing with luminous clarity, Meyer delves into the biographical elements shaping the writer's career and probes Carver's style and subject matter; he then examines the majority of the fictional works, organizing his material according to distinct phases in the writer's canon, while devoting a separate chapter to Carver's poetry. Of special appeal are Meyer's insightful comparison of stories published in multiple versions and hisinformed discussion of minimalism - a term often applied to Carver's writings but, Meyer argues, only partly, if at all, with accuracy.

"Perhaps the most significant and influential figure in this century's wave of American realism, Raymond Carver (1938-1988) is credited not only with reviving the short story as an artistically legitimate form, but also with perfecting minimalist fiction. His 1981 collection, What We Talk about When We Talk about Love, remains the standard against which minimalist literature is measured, and his numerous prize-winning and frequently anthologized stories have established him as the extender of a modernist tradition stretching from Chekhov through Joyce and Hemingway. In his later collections, such as Cathedral (1983) and Where I'm Calling From (1988), Carver surpasses even his own great achievement, setting a bold new path for his short fiction and intensifying the scholarly attention he'd first inspired with "Will You Please Be Quiet, Please?" (anthologized in Best American Short Stories of 1967)." "Moving chronologically through Carver's complete short fiction canon and examining key stories in depth, Ewing Campbell traces the author's development through and beyond literary minimalism, into the tradition of tragic allegory. He explores Carvers persistent use of myth and archetype; motifs of the grotesque; religious iconography; and oppressed, spiritually paralyzed characters. From the earliest stories through the latest, Campbell illuminates Carvers constant fascination with the way individuals connect or fail to connect with one another."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
