Praise for Raymond Carver and What We Talk About When We Talk About Love

“The American Chekhov.” —Sunday Times  (London)

“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.” —The New York Times Book Review

“[Raymond Carver is] one of the true contemporary masters.”—The New York Review of Books
