One of America's most original, truest voices
Salman Rushdie
I remember being floored by the first Raymond Carver collection I read: What We Talk About When We Talk About Love
David Sedaris, New York Times
One of the most celebrated American short-story writers of the 20th century
New York Times
The master craftsman of the modern American short story
Daily Telegraph
A remarkable collection
New York Review of Books
Raymond Carver's stories can now be counted amongst the masterpieces of American fiction
New York Times
These brilliant shards - some no more than three or four pages long - confirm Carver's place in the hall of America's great writers and suggest that, with his hero Chekhov, he was one of the world's masters of the short story
Times Literary Supplement
Raymond Carver uses the English language like a whittler's knife, carving stark and unadorned prose-objects, paring away everything but the very core of human emotion
Chicago Tribune
