Short Cuts
Short Cuts | Raymond Carver
4 posts | 9 read | 2 to read
The nine stories and one poem collected in this volume formed the basis for the astonishingly original film Short Cuts directed by Robert Altman. Collected altogether in this volume, these stories form a searing and indelible portrait of American innocence and loss. From the collections Will You Please Be Quiet, Please?, Where Im Calling From, What We Talk About When We Talk About Love, and A New Path to the Waterfall; including an introduction by Robert Altman. With deadpan humor and enormous tenderness, this is the work of one of the true contemporary masters (The New York Review of Books).

It had been many years since I last read Carver so I had forgotten how these stories are inhabited by people who are plagued by misery, doubt and very little forgiveness.

On my way to Los Angeles for a solo adventure, I figured the best way to get in the mood is to read a classic written by a NW author, adapted to film, relocated to the sprawling metropolis. You never know what's going to happen when you set off alone to a new place. Luck goes both ways, according to Carver and Altman.

After reading an Amy Schumer q&a in Entertainment Weekly, I want to see the Robert Altman film based off this collection of short stories.

LyndseyReads I love Carter. "Cathedral" is one of my all-time favorite short stories. 9y
moraghastie_author I love him too @LyndseyReads - he is my go-to-guy when I'm stuck writing my own short stories and I need some clarity. 9y
