Thnking on Raymond Carver

 Carver is the guy I hear a lot about. I have read two of his stories, pretty sure just two, and I like hm even though I cannot do minimalism. From what I know now, neither could he - his editor slashed his stories. Thing is, I did not think him all that different from what we grew up with. Style or content-wise. Hemingway looms large. I have John Cheever in some depth; Alice Munro got my attention

The Paris Review removed the paywall on Carver's Careful. Go read it and see what you think.

On Academy of the Heart And Mind, I read Peace of Mind by Susan Cleveland. Inspirational is right. Probably wrong to compare except for taking the mundane and making it important.
