The Uncollected Fiction and Prose of one of America's most original, truest voices . . .
When he died in August 1988, Raymond Carver had just published what were thought to be his last stories in his own selection, 'Where I'm Calling From'. This new volume brings together all his uncollected fiction, including three late stories only recently discovered in his house in Port Angeles, a fragment of a novel, five early stories, and all his non-fiction prose, including his last essay 'Friendship', about a London reunion with Richard Ford and Tobias Wolff.
The five new stories are wonderful examples of his late open style, while the non-fiction prose includes all the essays, together with occasional commentary on his own fiction and poetry, writings on the American short story, and reviews of work by his contemporaries. This book takes us into Carver's workshop, and completes the picture of one of the most original writers of his generation in the English language.
