Con sus relatos construidos palabra a palabra, intensos como un poema, Raymond Carver, fallecido en 1988, habÃa ya ingresado en ese parnaso donde la obra de un escritor está completa, y no tendrá otra modificación que las introducidas por las diferentes lecturas que de ella se hagan en el curso del tiempo. Al parecer, todo lo que importaba habÃa sido ya publicado. Pero ahora, años después de su muerte, Tess Gallagher, la viuda de Carver, escritora y poeta, ha encontrado y editado cinco relatos que, como afirma Publishers Weekly, serán para la legión de admiradores del escritor «como un alijo de diamantes descubiertos en una mina abandonada». Relatos espléndidos, precisos, estremecedores, que transcurren en el carveriano territorio del noroeste americano, con hombres que han dejado de beber y están en la lÃnea divisoria entre dos vidas, con parejas que ya no se aman y empiezan a mirarse como extraños, con un escritor que ha abandonado a su mujer, ha alquilado una habitación, y está intentando empezar a escribir otra vez, a partir de «ese vacÃo que es el comienzo de todas las cosas». Historias en las que una y otra vez, y con distintos protagonistas, se narra ese instante de sombrÃa belleza y terrible verdad en que, de repente, lo comprendemos todo, y la vida ya nunca podrá volver a ser la misma.

Si me necesitas, llamame (Call if You Need Me)
In retrospect maybe this book isn't worth four stars. Stories that at the time of his death hadn't been collected in books yet, along with some essays about writing and literature. Yet another review for a book I read at some indeterminate number of years ago that I remember very little about. In lieu of a real review, here is a piece I'd like to call:
What I Thought about When I Thought about Raymond Carver Today.
Thinking about what to write today I was thinking about how some writers have careers that seem to stretch for decades. Like when you think of Philip Roth, there are Philip Roth's for the 60's through the current time. All different Philip Roth's. Sort of like John Updike too. Other writers seem to embody just one small sliver of time. Like Tom Robbins, he can keep writing novels till he's 189 years old, but most likely it will still seem like he's stuck sometime in the post-1960's to very early 1980's. He'll never wash ex-hippie from him.
Raymond Carver seems to embody such a small sliver of time, like very early 1980's and he might be dead by that point, or maybe not. I have no idea how long he was really in the spotlight for, or when he died, and I'm not looking it up, because it's beside the point, he's there for like a moment, sort of like in music Nirvana to me, they aren't timeless they are a brief flicker of early 1990's that are then gone, and Carver is sort of the same way, but for about 10 or 15 years earlier, of course I know what I'm talking about, at least subjectively for Nirvana, and I'm talking out my ass about Raymond Carver, but anyway; that's what I've been thinking about when I've been thinking about Raymond Carver for the past day or two (ohhhhhhhh Henry twist!!! I said today in the title, but it's actually been for the past two days!!!!!).
