<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A movie tie-in edition to the brilliant new film by Robert Altman, based on these nine stories by Carver, "one of the great short story writers of our time--of any time" (Philadelphia Inquirer).<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The nine stories and one poem collected in this volume formed the basis for the astonishingly original film "Short Cuts" directed by Robert Altman. Collected altogether in this volume, these stories form a searing and indelible portrait of American innocence and loss. From the collections <i>Will You Please Be Quiet, Please?</i>, <i>Where I'm Calling From</i>, <i>What We Talk About When We Talk About Love</i>, and <i>A New Path to the Waterfall</i>; including an introduction by Robert Altman. With deadpan humor and enormous tenderness, this is the work of "one of the true contemporary masters" (<i>The New York Review of Books</i>). </p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Raymond Carver was born in Clatskanie, Oregon, in 1938. His first collection of stories, <i>Will You Please Be Quiet, Please</i> (a National Book Award nominee in 1977), was followed by <i>What We Talk About When We Talk About Love, </i> <i>Cathedral</i> (nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in 1984), and <i>Where I'm Calling From</i> in 1988, when he was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He died August 2, 1988, shortly after completing the poems of <i>A New Path to the Waterfall.</i></p>
