Book
Condition: Sehr gut. Taschenbucherstausgabe. 325 (11) Seiten. 18,7 cm. Umschlaggestaltung: Nina Rothfos & Patrick Gabler. Sehr guter Zustand. Der erste von Raymond Carver selbst zusammengestellte Erzählungsband über Verlierer und Verlorene der amerikanischen Gesellschaft. Die 22 Geschichten des besten amerikanischen Kurzgeschichten-Autors seit Hemingway. In meisterhafter Kürze und lakonischer Präzision halten sie das Leben von Scheiternden fest. Seine unvergleichliche Fähigkeit, die Dinge in ihrem Schweigen zum Sprechen zu bringen, hat ihn bis heute zum bewunderten Vorbild der Literaturszene werden lassen. Seine Erzählungen waren Grundlage für Robert Altmans preisgekrönten Film "Short Cuts". Die Übersetzung von Helmut Frielinghaus wahrt den lakonischen Tonfall Carvers, ohne die Zwischentöne zu opfern. Auch wenn Raymond Carver (1938-1988) niemand war, dem man unbesorgt eine volle Flasche Whisky oder seinen Hund für einen Spaziergang um den Block anvertrauen konnte, auf seine Storys ist Verlass. Dies zeigt überzeugend sein erster Erzählband, 1976 von ihm selbst zusammengestellt, mit dem ihm der Durchbruch in der literarischen Szene Amerikas gelang. Darunter sind neun Erzählungen erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung zu lesen. Carvers Spezialität, die von vielen Autoren seither nachgeahmt und nur selten erreicht wird, ist der knappe Dialog in alltäglichen Situationen. Am meisten kommt zur Sprache, während die Personen miteinander schweigen oder sich, je mehr sie reden, immer weniger sagen. John Updike dazu: "Carver bringt die Dinge in ihrem Schweigen zum Sprechen." Die Storys brauchen keine lange Einführung. Sofort befindet sich der Leser mitten im Geschehen. Der Anruf einer fremden Frau entzieht der gesicherten Welt Arnolds den Boden. Der kurze Blick, den er im Gespräch in ihr Leben wirft, lässt ihn verstört zurück. Oder eine nebensächliche Bemerkung zweier Restaurantgäste nähren aufkeimende Zweifel des Ehemanns an seiner Frau. Bedeutungslose Kleinigkeiten, die, plötzlich hochgeschwemmt, eine ganze Existenz in Frage stellen. Achtung: Suchtgefahr! --Manuela Haselberger. - Raymond Carver (* 25. Mai 1938 in Clatskanie, Oregon; 2. August 1988 in Port Angeles, Washington) war ein US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller und Dichter. Leben: Raymond Carver wurde in Clatskanie (Oregon) geboren und wuchs in Yakima, Washington auf. Carver studierte Creative Writing bei dem Autor John Gardner am Chicago State College. Am Humboldt State College in Kalifornien, wo er 1963 einen B.A. erwarb, und an der University of Iowa setzte er sein Studium fort. Er veröffentlichte zu Lebzeiten in verschiedenen Zeitschriften, darunter The New Yorker und Esquire, eine Anzahl von Erzählungen, zum Teil Kurzgeschichten, die aus dem Leben einfacher Menschen berichten. Seine Arbeiten zeichnen sich durch ihren lakonischen Stil aus, an dem sein Lektor beim Esquire, Gordon Lish, großen Anteil hatte. In den letzten Jahren wurden Lishs zum Teil massive Eingriffe in Carvers Texte zunehmend kritisiert. Noch zu Lebzeiten von Carver erschienen einzelne Erzählungen in einer von diesen Eingriffen gesäuberten Form. Stilistisch wird Carver dem literarischen Minimalismus zugerechnet. Carver war mit der Lyrikerin Tess Gallagher verheiratet und gut befreundet mit Tobias Wolff und Richard Ford. Im Jahre 1988 wurde er in die American Academy of Arts and Letters aufgenommen. Seit seiner Zeit am Humboldt State College bis zehn Jahre vor seinem Tod war Carver ein starker Alkoholiker. Viele seiner Geschichten zeugen von seiner Alkoholsucht. Carver starb im Alter von 50 Jahren in Port Angeles (Washington) an Lungenkrebs. Carvers Erzählungen wurden von Haruki Murakami ins Japanische übersetzt. . . . Aus: wikipedia-Raymond_Carver.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. First Edition. Carver's influential volume of short stories, nominated for the National Book Award. In the late 1990s, after Gordon Lish's archive became available to researchers at the Lilly Library, the extent that Lish edited Carver's stories became apparent. Lish had been Carver's advocate for many years, as an editor at Esquire, and one of the few people in the literary world giving Carver paying gigs. Lish helped convince McGraw-Hill to publish this book, Carver's first major collection of stories. In 1976, McGraw-Hill mostly published textbooks and popular titles like Erma Bombeck's The Grass Is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank, so a book that ended up on many critics' "best of" lists that year was something of a stretch (the best parallel that comes to mind is Chilton, the auto-repair manual company, publishing Frank Herbert's Dune a decade earlier). After ten years as a struggling writer, the author of chapbooks and offprints, Carver was eager to see his work in hardcover. He wrote to Lish that he was open to any kind of editing. "I will leave it up to you & you tell me what you think needs done or doing," he wrote. Carver became known for his pared down, spare style, beginning with this book, and that style would influence the generation of short story writers that came after. Today there is an ongoing effort to publish Carver's stories as they were before Lish took his red pencil to them. We will probably need another generation to know which version people like better, but this book will always mark a major turning point in American post-war literature. First edition (first printing, with a numberline beginning in 1). A near fine hardcover copy in a very good dust jacket with short closed tears along the top edge.
