«Principiantes» is Raymond Carver's short story collection, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
This edition presents «Principiantes» as the original version of «De qué hablamos cuando hablamos de amor», before Gordon Lish cut it by nearly half for publication in 1981. Carver shows ordinary lives, couples facing the end of their relationships, and everyday tragedies with flashes of fragile happiness.
Principiantes belongs to Anagrama's Panorama de narrativas collection (number 754). Translated by Jesús Zulaika Goicoechea; original English title: «Beginners».
For readers of contemporary fiction and short stories interested in Carver and in discovering the text prior to Lish's intervention.
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."
