Beginners

WHAT WE TALK ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT LOVE is Raymond Carver's most famous collection of short stories and remains one of the most influential pieces of modern literature to date. But the original, unedited manuscript, BEGINNERS - published here for the first time, was almost fifty per cent longer than the published collection. This restored version of Carver's stories reveal what was previously unsaid, filling in the narrative silences that have both inspired and mystified readers for so long. BEGINNERS is a fascinating insight into the aesthetic of a literary great.
