The Real Carver: Expansive or Minimal?[edit]

The NY Times says tht Raymond Carver’s widow is spearheading an effort to publish a volume of his stories pre-Lish. ( See http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/17/books/17carver.html?ex=1193198400&en=ef2288f85b950c2d&ei=5070&emc=eta1 )

And Carol Sklenicka of San Francisco, says she is the author of a biography of an unauthorized biography of Raymond Carver forthcoming from Scribner and plans to "tell the true story". ( See http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/books/article2681557.ece )

Was Carver just a front man for Lish ?

New Books on the way[edit]

Sources say that Captain Fiction has put pen to paper again! Two books are working through the publication process now and should be on shelves by the start of 2024 2600:1003:B03F:6DE3:69EB:FA2F:B0E2:9E9B (talk) 20:37, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
