What are we talking about if we're talking about love?

For American literature, Raymond Carver is the No. 1 master of short prose, one of the most important names of the twentieth century. Yogo was called the “American Chekhov”, he himself was inspired by Geminway, Faulkner and Bukowski. “What are we talking about when we’re talking about love” is a classic of American literature that our readers don’t need to know. Carver transformed his difficult life story into a unique literary landscape from the intricacies of the broken worlds of “small-town” America. This “landscape” has become a classic of US literature, infusing American mysticism with great peace, which we can now enjoy. Collection of reviews “What are we talking about when we talk about love” - the apogee of Carver’s minimalist style, where the skin’s word, skin pause and coma matter. The brevity of the texts in this collection is another result of the deliberate collaboration between Raymond Carver and editor Gordon Leash, which “cut” the already minimalist original text, significantly shortening it and changing some of it storylines. Regardless of the author’s dissatisfaction, in such a laconic appearance the collection first reached the readers and became a cult. Best seen by Raymond Carver in the Ukrainian language.
