Review-A-Day"It's impossible to overestimate the importance of Raymond Carver on post-war American fiction. The clarity of his insight, the accuracy of his prose ? a precision that no one since, except maybe DeLillo (although they couldn't possibly be more different kinds of writers), has come even close to..." Adrienne Miller, Esquire (Click here to read the entire Esquire review) Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Call If You Need Me includes all of the prose previously collected in No Heroics, Please, four essays from Fires, and those five marvelous stories that range over the period of Carver's mature writing and give his devoted readers a final glimpse of the great writer at work. The pure pleasure of Carver's writing is everywhere in his work, here no less than in those stories that have already entered the canon of modern literature. Review:"To a one, they demonstrate the author's characteristic bare-bones style as he placed characters of modest means and resources into the kind of ordinary crises that define ordinary lives. Gathered here, too, but taking a back seat to the stories, are all the nonfiction pieces left uncollected at the time of Carver's death. These include essays, introductions, and book reviews; and in these, his trademark pared-down prose style worked as effectively as in his short stories." Brad Hooper, Booklist Review:"Carver's prose, for all its simplicity, carries his mark everywhere. His tact and precision are marvelous."
