This powerful collection
of stories, set in the mid-West among the lonely men and women who
drink, fish and play cards to ease the passing of time, was the first by
Raymond Carver to be published in the UK. With its spare, colloquial
narration and razor-sharp sense of how people really communicate, the
collection was to become one of the most influential literary works of
the 1980s.
