What We Talk About When We Talk About Love

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.

Reviews

Tyler Cipriani reviewed What we talk about when we talk about love by Raymond Carver

Sad and poignant

4.0 stars

Haruki Murakami has said that the title story in this collection is his favorite short story. The vibe of this collection of short-stories is uneasy—it left me on edge. Something is about to go wrong. But I was rapt through every story. With austere writing and heartbreaking narrative Carver reveals sad vignettes of lonely protagonists. Definitely worth a read.
