In his second collection of stories, as in his first, Carver's characters are peripheral people--people without education, insight or prospects, people too unimaginative to even give up. Carver celebrates these men and women.
Carver establishes his reputation as one of the most celebrated and beloved short-story writers in American literatureβa haunting meditation on love, loss, and companionship, and finding oneβs way through the dark.
Featured in the Academy Award-winning (Best Picture) film Birdman starring Michael Keaton
