By the time of his early death in 1988, Raymond Carver had established himself as one of the greatest practitioners of the American short story, a writer who had not only found his own voice but imprinted it in the imaginations of thousands of readers.
‘Where I’m Calling From’, his last collection, encompasses classic stories from ‘Cathedral’, ‘What We Talk About When We Talk About Love’ and earlier Carver volumes, along with seven new works previosly unpublished in book form.
Together, these 37 stories give us a superb overview of Carver’s life work and show us why he was so widely imitated but never equaled.
