Call If You Need Me: The Uncollected Fiction and Other Prose. This item is unavailable.Call If You Need Me: The Uncollected Fiction and Other Prose

The complete uncollected fiction and nonfiction, including the five posthumously discovered "last" stories, published here in book form for the first time--from "one of the great short story writers of our time--of any time" (The Philadelphia Inquirer).

Call If You Need Me includes all of the prose previously collected in No Heroics, Please, four essays from Fires, and those five marvelous stories that range over the period of Carver's mature writing and give his devoted readers a final glimpse of the great writer at work. The pure pleasure of Carver's writing is everywhere in his work, here no less than in those stories that have already entered the canon of modern literature.

RAYMOND CARVER was born in Clatskanie, Oregon, in 1938. His first collection of stories, Will You Please Be Quiet, Please (a National Book Award nominee in 1977), was followed by What We Talk About When We Talk About Love, Cathedral (nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in 1984), and Where I'm Calling From in 1988, when he was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He died August 2, 1988, shortly after completing the poems of A New Path to the Waterfall.
