«De qué hablamos cuando hablamos de amor» is a collection of short stories by Raymond Carver, published by Anagrama in paperback (160 pages, in Spanish).
Stories about couples on the verge of breaking up, men who throw themselves into adventure, and parents and children who cannot find a way to communicate. With spare prose and an unflinching gaze, Carver portrays a tense world, sometimes violent and even absurd, where everyday life lays bare what is hard to name.
Volume 62 of the Compactos collection, translated by Jesús Zulaika Goicoechea; original title: What We Talk About When We Talk About Love.
For readers of contemporary short fiction and followers of Raymond Carver: De qué hablamos cuando hablamos de amor shares the atmosphere of Cathedral.
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."
