| Publisher Description: More than sixty stories, poems, and essays are included in this wide-ranging collection by the extravagantly versatile Raymond Carver. Two of the stories--later revised for What We Talk About When We Talk About Love--are particularly notable in that between the first and the final versions, we see clearly the astounding process of Carver's literary development. |
