Conversations With Maryann Carver, Richard Ford, William Kittredge, Jay McInerney, Leonard Michaels, Robert Stone, Douglas Unger, & Geoffrey Wolff. Chuck Kinder, William Kittredge, Jay McInerney, Leonard Michaels, Robert Stone, Douglas Unger, & Geoffrey Wolff. 161 pages. hardcover. keywords: Literature America Biography. FROM THE PUBLISHER-When Raymond Carver, master of the American short story, died in 1988 at the age of fifty, the New York Times called him ‘the American Chekhov. ' This book is a collection of interviews with those who knew Career best. Maryann Carver, his first wife, speaking for publication for the first time, tells of their twenty years together; and the writers who were among Ray's closest friends remember their dealings with him. They all recall his legendary ‘Bad Raymond' days, and his ‘second life' as a recovering alcoholic. Sam Halpert's informed interviews allow juxtaposition of personal anecdotes with enlightening criticism. A rich, lively picture of Raymond Carver emerges. Memory mixes with analysis. The interviews contradict each other. We hear different stories about Carver, or the same story told in different ways. He is the hero, the victim, and occasionally the villain in these tales; always he is remembered with affection as a man who gave affection. These interviews do not skirt the difficult terrain of Raymond Carver's life. The financial problems, alcoholism, and violence are discussed along with the triumphs, the deep friendships, and the literary successes. Contributors speak about his habits of composition and revision; his editorial, collaborative, and mentoring skills; the ways in which his work grew out of his life-and out of the lives of his friends. Leonard Michaels says, ‘The people he dealt with and lived with were all participants, in a way, in his writing. I imagine Maryann lived through a hell of a lot of that material with him, and I suspect that she and Ray paid for those stories with their lives. ' They address the stock criticisms of Carver. Tobias Wolff insists, ‘A good writer should make you feel as if he's lived the story he is telling. But at the end of the story we always have to draw back and say, ‘This is a story. ' He certainly would use anything-he'd use things from my life, from Tess' life, from his friends' lives, 'Without any scruple at all, as well as from his own, but he wasn't writing his own autobiography. ‘ Bill Kittredge says, ‘I don't think of Ray in terms of being a minimalist. I don't think he was an emotional minimalist at all. When I reflect and see my own life in the mirror of some of those great stories these stories are consistently telling me I must learn to be good, to be humane, compassionate, considerate of other Carver's place in the canon of American literature seems assured, but it may be argued that his most enduring legacy will be the influence he had on a whole generation of American writers. As look at all the Jay McInerney puts it, ‘ look at all the short story 'writers younger than Ray, and there's hardly one that you might say didn't come out of Ray Carver's overcoat. ' Essential for the student, the scholar, When We Talk About and the reader, . Raymond Carper offers unparalleled insights into one of the most important literary minds of this century. inventory #14033.
