In 'What We Talk About When We Talk About Love', Raymond Carver immerses us in a universe of couples falling apart, companions embarking on desperate adventures, and children struggling to communicate with their parents. Through direct and uncompromising prose, Carver explores the complexities of human relationships, revealing the amorphous and brutal essence of reality. This book, published in Spain after the success of 'Cathedral', solidifies Carver as a master of the short story, capable of naming the intolerable and rescuing the real in its most essential form.
Raymond Clevie Carver Jr. was an American short story writer and poet. He published his first collection of stories, Will You Please Be Quiet, Please?, in 1976. His breakout collection, What We Talk About When We Talk About Love (1981), received immediate acclaim and established Carver as an important figure in the literary world. It was followed by Cathedral (1983), which Carver considered his watershed and is widely regarded as his masterpiece. The definitive collection of his stories, Where I'm Calling From, was published shortly before his death in 1988. In their 1989 nomination of Carver for the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, the jury concluded, "The revival in recent years of the short story is attributable in great measure to Carver's mastery of the form."
