This collection of Raymond Carver's interviews reveals him to have
been perhaps the premier short-story writer of his generation, a
lyric-narrative poet of singular resonance, and a staunch proponent
of realistic fiction in the wake of postmodern formalism. The
twenty-five conversations gathered here, several available in
English for the first time, include craft interviews, biographical
portraits, self-analyses, and wide-ranging reflections on the
current literary scene.
Carver discusses his changing views of his widely influential
fiction collections "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love"
(1981), "Cathedral" (1983), and "Where I'm Calling From" (1988).
Carver explains how at the height of his fame as a fiction writer
he turned to poetry, producing three prize-winning books in as many
years. Finally, in the closing months of his life, he talks about
the coming of his last triumphant stories, the ones that secured
his reputation.
