A collection of
short stories by
Raymond Carver, first published in 1983.
The collection, seen as one of his strongest, includes:
A Small, Good Thing; Feathers; Fever; Where I'm Calling From; Cathedral and others. Very dry, very intense, these stories are tightly
focused and stripped back
to the bone. They are not wide ranging, by any stretch of the imagination, but they often hold shockingly detailed moments of small
epiphanies.
