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.
英文原版的比中文版的好上很多,因为大概只有每个字原来的摸样才能还原本该有的简洁。中文会过于缩略,没有了应该有了读音上的绕口。

评分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。
评分I thought for a minute of the world inside the stories, and then I did not have any more thoughts except I had to hurry up and sleep...
评分真苍凉
所有想看卡佛的这本短篇小说集的文艺青年们都应该放弃这个念头——这些小说里没有矫情和装腔作势,只有生活的真实的琐碎和无奈;这些小说不能带来谈资,而只会让人沉默。 短篇小说是生活或世界的一个剖面,就像建筑一样,没有哪一个剖面可以展现本体的全部,但是精心...
评分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...
评分这是我很久以前写的一篇文章,在豆瓣卡佛小组里贴过。部分读者觉得卡佛这本书很难读懂,我想这篇文章或许有点帮助。 Warning:这篇文章比这本小说集里任何一篇小说都要长。呵呵。 毁了我父亲的第四件事(译后记) ——从一篇小说的两个版本谈卡佛小说的风格及其演变 ...
评分《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...
评分现在谈论卡佛已经逐渐有了一种反讽的意味。我们写的评论比他的小说还要长,我们说的话比他笔下的人物的还要多,我们制造了喧嚣评价他的沉默,我们把他的简约看成了流行和时尚,对他背后大半生遭受的困难视而不见。卡佛在中文语境里受到的追捧已经遮蔽了他的小说与现实世界的关...
