Who am I to review Raymond Carver. He’s one of the great masters. If you haven’t read him, you should. Very sparse in that particularly American way, which I think might just mean that he was obsessed with Hemingway, which, you know, probably for good reason.

Maybe a review of this collection might be: Great stories aren’t written; they’re cut out of the living flesh of mediocre stories.
