Raymond Carver Audio Books

This is Raymond Carver's third collection of stories, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, including the canonical titular story about blindness and learning to enter the very different world of another.

With this, his first collection of stories, Raymond Carver breathed new life into the American short story and instantly became both the recognized master of the form and one of our best-loved fiction writers.

Available now for the first time on compact disc, this title offers all 21 stories of the award-winning cassette, along with a recent short story by Pam Houston, "The Best Girlfriend You Never Had". This lively audiobook features a wide variety of contemporary writers reading classics of the short story genre.

By the time of his early death in 1988, Raymond Carver had established himself as one of the great practitioners of the American short story.

More than 60 stories, poems, and essays are included in this wide-ranging collection by the extravagantly versatile Raymond Carver.

The nine stories and one poem in this volume formed the basis for the astonishingly original film Short Cuts, directed by Robert Altman.

In his second collection, including the iconic and much-referenced title story featured in the Academy Award-winning film Birdman, Raymond Carver establishes his reputation as one of the most celebrated short-story writers in American literature.

Here, in this book, is Raymond Carver's complete uncollected fiction and nonfiction, including the five posthumously discovered "last" stories, found a decade after Carver's death.

This prodigiously rich collection suggests that Raymond Carver was not only America's finest writer of short fiction, but also one of its most large-hearted and affecting poets.

Here is the original manuscript of Raymond Carver's seminal 1981 collection, What We Talk About When We Talk About Love.
