Biography of Raymond Carver Raymond Carver (1938 - 1988) The American short story writer and poet Raymond Carver was born in Clatskanie, Oregon, on May 25, 1938, and lived in Port Angeles, Washington during his last ten, sober years until his death from cancer on August 2, 1988. He was a Guggenheim Fellow in 1979 and was twice awarded grants from the National Endowment for the Arts. In 1983 Carver received the prestigious Mildred and Harold Strauss Living Award which gave him $35,000 per year tax free and required that he give up any employment other than writing, and in 1985 Poetry magazine's Levinson Prize. In 1988 he was elected to the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters and was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Letters from the University of Hartford. He received a Brandeis Citation for fiction in 1988. His work has been translated into more than twenty languages. At least that's the basic biography. Of course there's no room in it for the nature of the hardship he and his family went through during most of those fifty years between birth and death. There's no mention of his marriage at 19, the birth of his two children, Christine and Vance, by the time he was 21. No mention of his sometimes ferocious fights with his first wife, Maryann. No mention, either, of his near death, the hospitalizations - four times in 1976 and 1977 - for acute alcoholism.

Choose another writer in this calendar: by name: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Raymond Carver (1938-1988) - in full Raymond Clevie Carver American short-story writer and poet, a major force in the revitalization of the short story in the 1980s. Carver's reputation continued to grow after his death at the age of fifty. Robert Altman's much praised film Short Cuts (1993) was based on several of Carver's stories. His short fiction is often placed in the realistic tradition of Stephen Crane and Ernest Hemingway and its post-modern version, called minimalism. Carver himself did not like the label, because it "smacks of smallness of vision and execution." "I love the swift leap of a good story, the excitement that often commences in the first sentence, the sense of beauty and mystery found in the best of them; and the fact - so crucially important to me back at the beginning and now still a consideration - that the story can be written and read in one sitting. (Like poems!) (from foreword in Where I'm Calling From Raymond Carver was born in Clatskanie, a mill town on the Columbia River in Oregon. His father, a sawmill worker, was an alcoholic. At home he used to tell him stories about his own hunting and fishing exploits, and about his grandfather, who had fought in the Civil War, for both sides. Carver's mother worked as a waitress or as a retail clerk or else stayed home.

12. Prose As Architecture: Two Interviews With Raymond Carver From Paris, 1987 and the Italian magazine Panorama, 1986. Translated by Professor William L Stull. http://titan.iwu.edu/~jplath/carver.html

Prose as Architecture: Two Interviews with Raymond Carver Translated by William L. Stull R aymond Carver's death at fifty in 1988 cut short the career of the most influential American short story writer since Ernest Hemingway. But it did not put an end to Carver's writingor his influence. In the years since Carver's death a steady stream of posthumous works has appeared, thanks in large part to the efforts of his widow, the writer Tess Gallagher. These range from Carver's last-written book of poems, A New Path to the Waterfall (1989), to some of his earliest literary efforts: No Heroics Please: Uncollected Writings (1991) and Carnations: A Play in One Act (1992). The biographical volumes Carver Country (1990), . . .When We Talk About Raymond Carver (1991), and Remembering Ray (1993) have kept his memory alive, as have the television documentaries Dreams Are What You Wake Up From (1989) and To Write and Keep Kind (1992). And of course there's Short Cuts (1993), Robert Altman's irreverent Hollywood take on Carver's world. As Raymond Carver surely knew, when the man dies the writer gets the final word, insofar as any word is ever final. (Think of Carver's much-loved poem "Gravy," a valediction published in The New Yorker three weeks after his death.) Despite the passing of the man, then, conversation with the writer continues. During Carver's life his principal means of dialogue with readers was the interview, a medium to which he readily submitted despite his native shyness. In compiling Conversations with Raymond Carver (1990) the editors located some 50 Carver interviews (in languages ranging from Dutch to Japanese) and included 25 in the finished book. There, Carver the writer once again has the last word. "I've got a book to finish," he assures the closing interlocutor. "I'm a lucky man."

13. The Minimalist Styles Of Raymond Carver And Suzanne Vega Text of an essay comparing the styles of raymond carver and singer/songwriter Suzanne Vega. http://www.vega.net/wendy.htm

The Minimalist Styles of Raymond Carver and Suzanne Vega by Wendy Chapman June, 1996 These days I'm trying to use the language as though it were a piece of wood, and I craft it, I hone it down. I sand it, I polish it, and I make sure there are no cracks, no extra pieces or frills that might fall off. I try to keep it as compact as possible. Suzanne Vega "The Cutting Edge Of Folk" Carver in Where I'm Calling From has a tendency to use the first person narrative. While not all the stories are in first person, a majority of them are. This use of the first person allows Carver to step back from the story and have less of an interpretive influence. What emerges is an importance of individual perception. The narrator in "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love" says that "Terri...seemed anxious" (178), when Mel is telling his story about an old couple from the hospital. The first person narrator does not presume to have insight into each characters feelings and emotions. Because the narrator, himself, is a character within the scene, he is only capable of using his perceptions to interpret what is going on and therefore can only guess at what Terri might be feeling based on what he's picking up from her. If Carver or a controlling narrator were present within the story and guiding the reader, we would know that Terri "is anxious" not "seems anxious." A first person narrative does not allow Carver to have such control and therefore we can only deal with perceptions.

Return to homepage. ©2000 Phillip Carson Carver's Vision This sort of epiphany is what Carver deals with in almost all of his storiesthe daily responsibilities of life weighing down on one's shoulders when nothing is certain, not one's marriage, one's sobriety, not even a dryer to finish drying the clothes. "Almost all the characters in my stories come to the point where they realize that compromise, giving in, plays a major role in their lives," Carver said. "Then one single moment of revelation disrupts the pattern of their daily lives. It's a fleeting moment during which they don't want to compromise anymore. And afterwards they realize that nothing ever really changes" (Gentry 80). More than once Carver has been criticized for condescending to his characters, or in more favorable terms, dealing with them ironically. He flatly denied this stance at every opportunity. "I'm not talking down to my characters, or holding them up for ridicule, or slyly doing an end run around them. I'm much more interested in my characters, in the people in my story, than I am in any potential reader. I'm uncomfortable with irony if it's at the expense of someone else, if it hurts the characters" (Gentry 185). If he had condescended to his characters then he would had to have condemned the first forty years of his own life for its ordinariness. "I do know something about the life of the underclass and what it feels like, by virtue of having lived it myself for so long," he said in a 1986 interview. "Half my family is still living like this. They still don't know how they're going to make it through the next month or two" (Gentry 138).

Carver's biographical essay, "My Father's Life," tells about his upbringing what his highly-acclaimed stories tell about others: the grind of poverty, the ruin of alcohol, the endless threat of breakdown and break-up, the resolve of those who keep going when their only sure direction is down. Raymond Carver's Two Lives At the age of forty, Raymond Carver was one of the most promising writers of his generation; he was also near ruin in every way from alcoholism. At fifty, and at the end of his "miraculous second life" the alcohol conquered, but now beaten by cancer Carver would count himself blessed, and many scholars would count him among the top few short story writers of modern literature.
