What We Talk About When We Talk About Love

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.

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.

作为一个紧跟时代潮流的八卦爱好者,除了坚持收看网易新闻及评论,定期查阅豆瓣流行之外,我一直按时收看江苏台的《非诚勿扰》,某期,一位文艺青年送心仪女生本小说,我猜就是这本。当时我就愕然了,现在文艺青年装逼都开始秀这本书了,简直比45度仰望天空。悲伤逆流成河还令...

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...

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...

我不敢说我读懂了卡佛,这只是我的一些阅读感受。 我觉得在2010年的一大幸事,就是结识了雷蒙德卡佛和他的文字。我喜欢翻来覆去地随意阅读这个集子里的每个短篇,仿佛顺着漆黑的山洞向前摸索,越往深越会有新的发现。他不像一般作者带领你展示每一件成品,而仅...

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。

说不出来的被戳中的感觉

想買一本,可封面都太丑了。

以前低估了卡佛的小说,这次很慢很慢地读他的小说,突然有好几篇就打动了我。《Viewfinder》、《Sacks》、《The Bath》等等。从他的小说,你会想到身边的人,甚至就是你自己。这么想着,再看自己的生活,处处是小说。但是,从另一面看,他的小说又缺乏多样性,更缺乏一种危险的气息。

“Raymond Carver's America is helpless, clouded by pain and the loss of dreams, but it is not as fragile as it looks. It is a place of survivors and a place of stories." "Carver not only enchants, he convinces."
