Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A insightful fictional look at one of America's greatest authors--a funny, compassionate, and convincing portrayal of the creative life of Raymond Carver.Based on the life of the great short-story writer Raymond Carver, Scissors is a compassionate and convincing portrayal of the creative life. An alcoholic with no money, Raymond's writing career is going nowhere. When the charismatic editor Douglas, known ominously as "Scissors" among his peers, takes an interest in his stories, Raymond finally has a chance to make his mark-but he must decide between fame and artistic integrity. As Raymond wrestles with the dramatic changes Douglas insists he make to his manuscripts, his family has their own ideas about the form his work should take, and these, too, cannot be ignored.
