What We Talk About When We Talk About Love
What We Talk About When We Talk About Love
Author: Raymond Carver
In his second collection of stories, as in his first, Carver's characters are peripheral people--people without education, insight or prospects, people too unimaginative to even give up. Carver celebrates these men and women.

reviewed What We Talk About When We Talk About Love on
This is a fantastic display of modern American short stories. His meticulous yet economic choice of words make it a unique blend of frankness and metaphor. My favorite story from this volume was "Viewfinder."
