  • Hailed as the American Chekhov and short-listed for a Pulitzer Prize at the time of his death, only ten years earlier Raymond Carver had been completely down and out. In this vintage program filmed just a year after he died, Carver’s second wife, Tess Gallagher, and writers Jay McInerney and Richard Ford, his close friends, explore Carver’s artistic legacy: his stories and poems about the other side of the American Dream. In addition, excerpts from two of Carver’s most famous stories are dramatized. "No one since Steinbeck had written about these people," says McInerney, "the people whose dreams go belly-up."

    Ray was born in my hometown, and they recently painted a big mural of him. His work resonates with me a lot, and his stories feel a lot realer and closer to reality then most other authors. rest in peace king

      I went out to Clatskanie not too long ago to see that nice memorial they have for him there in Cope's Park. Tastefully done. Might go out there again this summer.

    I remember reading of his death on the front page of The Guardian.
    He had a following here in Scotland and he read at the Edinburgh Book Festival with Richard Ford.
    And here we are in late June 2021, still reading Ray Carver.

    Carver, Bukowski, Fante - my three favourite stylists. They kept it all looking simple, and bare - but somehow more punchy and meaningful.

    I love Raymond Carver's writing, I have a deep affection for him as well. I live in a place that couldn't be any different from the US Northwest he inhabited. I don't have any particular interest in those he writes about, I'm very familiar with Chekhov and don't feel any connection, I also don't drink or gamble, ...I just love to read his impressions in simple words of those he loved. RIP

    This documentary made a big impact on a British audience back in 1989.
    I think it went out as an Arena programme on BBC2 at the time.
    Still one's favourite author of all time is a certain Raymond Carver. Picador's 'The Stories of Raymond Carver' was a legendary volume over here in England, with a magnificent line-drawing jacket cover illustration - it generated staggering reviews.
    (Funny indeed always, on this very issue, to think of jazz journalist Ben Sidran's distinction between 'greatest' and 'favourite' - the concept, when it came to jazz pianists, characterized, for him, in the form of Art Tatum and Sonny Clark respectively).
    The caption to the photograph of RC that accompanied Salman Rushdie's obituary in The Independent in 1989 memorably ran:
    'Raymond Carver - oh lucky man'.

    This is great, because I knew very little about Carver. I didn't realize he died so young. Everything Must Go, an underrated movie starring Will Ferrell was based on his short story, "Why Don't You Dance?" There's a lot of beauty, simplicity and depth in his writing.

  • @gonstotwriter
    @gonstotwriter 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    "We got real pissed and danced..." That's the first time I've ever heard Americans use "pissed" for "drunk." Normally that's a British or Canadian expression; in the USA, the adjective "pissed" is short for "pissed off."

    The dramatisations of his stories are really lame
    Just read the stories
    Its almost insulting
    But enjoyed the rest of it i didn't know anything about him although I've been reading his stuff since the 80s on the recommendation of a friend
    So sad he died young 😢
