Raymond Carver's characters are like family members--familiar strangers.

More like vignettes than short stories, Carver pins uncomfortable, private moments and documents the squirming that ensues.  Ambiguous and often without interpretive meaning, these stories hold within them interest, confusion and an inexplicable profundity that is unsettling.  Reading this book feels like trespassing and voyeurism.

One of my favorite collections of short stories by, who I often refer to as, my favorite writer, Raymond Carver. Most of them deal with the strife in the mundane lives of regular working-class people.

Every sentence Carver ever put down was direct, truthful, real. This collection, his first, contains stories that reflect the everyday man and woman, the everyday turmoil, and the other odds and ends that consume our daily lives.

The title says if all.  You kind of don't have to read the book.

Amazingly compact author who could, with few words, create a full range of emotion.

Wasn't aware of the fact that words on paper could touch me in such a way. Though Carver was really economical of his words.  A master!
