About Raymond Carver<\/h3>\n

“Raymond Carver was one of a handful of contemporary short story writers credited with reviving what was once thought of as a dying literary form. His stories mainly take place in his native Pacific Northwest region; they are peopled with the type of lower-middle-class characters the author was familiar with while he was growing up. In a New York Review of Books article, Thomas R. Edwards describes Carver’s fictional world as a place where “people worry about whether their old cars will start, where unemployment or personal bankruptcy are present dangers, where a good time consists of smoking pot with the neighbors, with a little cream soda and M & M’s on the side. . . . Carver’s characters are waitresses, mechanics, postmen, high school teachers, factory workers, door-to-door salesmen. [Their surroundings are] not for them a still unspoiled scenic wonderland, but a place where making a living is as hard, and the texture of life as drab, for those without money, as anywhere else.”” – Raymond Carver : The Poetry Foundation, <\/p>\n

“Raymond Clevie Carver, Jr. (May 25, 1938 \u2013 August 2, 1988) was an American short story writer and poet. Carver contributed to the revitalization of the American short story in literature during the 1980s.” – Raymond Carver – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, http:\/\/goo.gl\/SOIQ<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
