<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Originally published: New York: Knopf, 1981.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In his second collection, including the iconic and much-referenced title story featured in the Academy Award-winning film <i>Birdman</i>, Carver establishes his reputation as one of the most celebrated short-story writers in American literature--a haunting meditation on love, loss, and companionship, and finding one's way through the dark.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Carver's fiction is so spare in manner that it takes a time before one realizes how completely a whole culture and a whole moral condition is represented by even the most seemingly slight sketch. This second volume of stories is clearly the work of a full-grown master. --Frank Kermode <p/>Raymond Carver's America is...clouded by pain and the loss of dreams, but it is not as fragile as it looks. It is a place of survivors and a place of stories.... [Carver] has done what many of the most gifted writers fail to do: He has invented a country of his own, like no other except that very world, as Wordsworth said, which is the world to all of us. --Michael Wood, front page, <i>The New York Times Book Review</i> <p/>Splendid.... The collection as a whole, unlike most, begins to grow and resonate in a wonderful cumulative effect. --Tim O'Brien, <i>Chicago Tribune Book World</i> <p/>Carver not only enchants, he convinces. --J.D. Reed, <i>Time</i><br><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>
