What We Talk About When We Talk About Love

( 9 )

Overview

In his second collection of stories, as in his first, Carver's characters are peripheral people—people without education, insight or prospects, people too unimaginative to even give up. Carver celebrates these men and women.

"Carver's America is helpless, clouded by pain and the loss of dreams...It is a place of survivors and a place of stories..."--NYT Book Review
