RAYMOND CARVER’S

W HERE I’ M C ALLING F ROM

“[Raymond Carver’s] great gift is for writing stories that create meaning through their form.”

—The New York Times Book Review

“Carver has an acute sense of the singularity, the endearing oddity, of each human being; to each person he grants a measure of dignity because, if nothing else at all, this person has the sure distinction that no one else is precisely like him.”

—Washington Post Book World

“Astonishing achievements, which bespeak a writer expanding his range and intentions.”

— Boston Globe

“Mr. Carver’s newest works shine.”

— The Wall Street Journal

“Written in the simplest of styles, mirroring the language of everyday, his stories possess an awesome, mesmerizing power. Out of the moments when good luck runs out, Carver makes the highest art.”

— Newsday

“Considered as an extended work, the book summarizes Carver’s writing career and testifies to a literary achievement equaled only by the very best of modern American story writers—Hemingway, Welty, Salinger, Cheever.”

—San Francisco Chronicle
