Cathedral is Raymond Carver's third collection of stories, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, including the canonical titular story about blindness and learning to enter the very different world of another.

Nel 1984, all'indomani del successo di "Cattedrale", Raymond Carver volle riunire in questa raccolta saggi, poesie e racconti perlopiù inediti. Proprio la sua varietà fa di questo libro (che prende il nome da una lunga poesia dedicata a Charles Bukowski) un grandangolo sull'intera produzione carveriana, attraversata da fittissime corrispondenze e da un'esemplare coerenza di toni, idee, intenti. «Carver è lo scrittore che più di ogni altro ha i...

Esercizi di scrittura creativa, lezioni, istruzioni per la composizione di una short-story, note sull'arte della concisione. L'insegnamento della scrittura creativa è stato per Raymond Carver qualcosa di piú che un modo per guadagnarsi da vivere: cominciò negli anni '70 a tenere le sue memorabili lezioni di Creative Writing - in un periodo segnato dalla devastazione dell'alcolismo - e quelle lezioni oltre a dare origine a una vera e propria te...

La mattina dell'8 luglio 1980 Raymond Carver scrisse una lettera angosciata e confusa all'amico ed editor Gordon Lish, che gli aveva appena mandato il manoscritto rivisto di una nuova raccolta di racconti, "Principianti". Di alcuni di questi Lish aveva tagliato il settanta per cento, riducendo nel complesso il libro della metà e cambiando molti titoli e finali. La raccolta ora si chiamava "Di cosa parliamo quando parliamo d'amore". Carver impl...

Dieses Buch wurde jedoch in einer Version veröffentlicht, in der sein Lektor teilweise extreme Eingriffe vorgenommen ...

Ein beeindruckender Querschnitt durch Carvers Werk - und ein messerscharfes Porträt Amerikas. Raymond Carver ermöglicht dem Leser einen unverstellten Blick auf die dunklen Seiten des amer...

Winner of Poetry Magazine's Levinson Prize, an illuminating collection from the middle of his career, Raymond Carver's poems "function as distilled, heightened versions of his stories, offering us fugitive glimpses of ordinary lives on the edge" (Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times).

Raymond Carver was born in Clatskanie, Oregon, in 1938. His first short stories appeared in Esquire during Gordon Lish's tenure as fiction editor in the 1970s. Carver's work began to reach a wider audience with the 1976 publication of Will You Please be Quiet, Please, but it was not until the 1981 publication of What We Talk About When We Talk About Love under Gordon Lish, then at Knopf, that he began to achieve real literary fame. This collec...

Als der Arzt Raymond Carver mitteilte, er hätte nur noch wenige Monate, wusste er, es blieb nur noch Zeit für Gedichte. In ihnen findet sich alles aus seinen Stories wieder: die unerwarteten Wendungen, die Lakonie. Der Leser ist gebannt von der Aufmerksamkeit und Gelassenheit, mit der Carver den Lauf der Welt betrachtet.
