Raymond Carver is a classic of twentieth—century American literature, an outstanding master of the short form, heir to Hemingway, Faulkner and Chekhov. He has been called a minimalist and a "dirty realist," but "there is always a unique strangeness in his stories, echoes of myth" (Los Angeles Times). He received the O. Henry Award several times, reached the finals of the US National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize, Robert Altman directed the film "Short Edit" based on his stories (starring Andie MacDowell, Jack Lemmon, Julianne Moore, Robert Downey Jr. , Tim Robbins, Tom Waits), which won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, and the plot of Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's four-time Oscar-winning "Birdman" (starring Michael Keaton, Edward Norton, Emma Stone, Naomi Watts), shot in one continuous take, is based on the transfer of Carver's story "What are we Talking About, when we talk about love." This edition contains the author's collection "Cathedral", new stories from the book "Where I'm Calling From" — an anthology of the new and best prose by the master — and a number of additional materials; most of the stories are published in Russian for the first time or in new translations, the rest — in a new edition. "Carver's America is clouded by the loss of dreams and pain, but not as fragile as it might seem at first glance. Personal disaster is the norm for his characters" (The New York Times Book Review).
