Non sono riuscita a leggere tutte le storie.
Non ho trovato un filo, uno scopo, un colpo di scena o una suggestione.
Leggevo ma superavo la pagina e non mi restava nulla in testa perché nulla succedeva in quella pagina.
Questo libro non mi lascia assolutamente nulla

3.5 stars. This collection has 4 newer stories, along with previously collected essays and poems, including the excellent essay on inspiration, "Fires".

After reading this collection, I can definitely see why everyone recommends that short story writers should read Carver. His writing style is beautifully simple and succinct, yet carries an emotional punch.
