Ray Carver's collection Where I'm Calling From

Ray Carver's portfolio "Where am I calling?" After reading dozens of short stories of Ray Carver from "what I'm calling" he gathered, I had to ask a question It was. "On his face, his story looks simple, they are average workers who live a mediocre and mediocrity life, such as hotel managers, waitresses, salesmen, secretaries, etc. However, under the surface, if readers If you think that you are willing to do a little effort, there will always be more discoveries.

The title of the story may also be important. The original story is called "my" (in Carver's "Beginners" series), and Carver's editor Gordon Lish changed its name to "Popular Machinery". There is a magazine "Popular Machinery", a magazine on how to make styles, but you can change the title Lish tries to introduce satire on the story. He may have done it well as the reader is obvious (after reading the story) and the parent does not seem to know how to operate or maintain the family. This story is also in another title of Carver's "Where are I Call" series ("Little Things"). It is also possible to suggest that the carver uses (again) the lack of light in the story and at least symbolically knows nothing about the influence of the fight with the baby until it is too late

Raymond Carver wrote his short story "Cathedral" in 1981 and published it in the United States two years later. In the preface of the place he gathered, he wrote that it had a special turning point. 'Understanding its importance to Carver makes it particularly interesting. The story is about 5,500 words long, and in the familiar Carver world, I live in a suffocating family environment, a numbered workplace, or a blue collar worker. Through the lack of education and driving, he provides insight into the living segment in places people are in trouble. Much of his personality reflects the lack of such ambitions. This includes the narrator of the "cathedral". Like many of Carver's male characters, he can only express emotions at a narrow level.

I will get in touch. Carver is planning to write an excellent story such as "Where are I Call" before Lish edits, but has released his storybook in its original form. In most cases, they explain too much, too boring. He will restore what he was supposed to have missed. Someone used to refer to the manuscript of Charles Bukowski as "the key of a typewriter that is running the entire page." He does not have an editor. His words are edited in his mind. If there is an economy, it is a writer trained in his own reduction.
