The twenty-five conversations gathered here, several available in English for the first time, include craft interviews, biographical portraits, self-analyses, and wide-ranging reflections on the current literary scene.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarver discusses his changing views of his widely influential fiction collections \u003cem\u003eWhat We Talk About When We Talk About Love\u003c\/em\u003e (1981), \u003cem\u003eCathedral\u003c\/em\u003e (1983), and \u003cem\u003eWhere I'm Calling From\u003c\/em\u003e (1988). Carver explains how at the height of his fame as a fiction writer he turned to poetry, producing three prize-winning books in as many years. Finally, in the closing months of his life, he talks about the coming of his last triumphant stories, the ones that secured his reputation.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University Press of Mississippi","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52685325173016,"sku":"9780878054497","price":21.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/conversations-with-raymond-carver-paperback-softback-9780878054497","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
