Beginners ist die ungekürzte Version von Carvers bekanntester Kurzgeschichtensammlung, What We Talk About When We Talk About Love, erschienen 1981. Carver, häufig als minimalistisch bezeichnet, zeigt hier in den kleinen Tragödien des Lebens vielen Lesern unbekannte Facetten seiner Erzählkunst. Man begegnet dem jungen Mädchen, das zum ersten Mal der Gefahren des Erwachsenlebens gewahr wird. Dem Paar, das in einem Motelzimmer langsam und schmerzhaft das Ende seiner Beziehung erkennt. Dem Mann im einsamen Mittleren Westen, der seinen Platz in einer Welt ohne Focus sucht.
Kurzbeschreibung:
This fascinating collection contains the original, unedited stories Raymond Carver wrote for what became - at the hands of his editor Gordon Lilsh - What We Talk About When We Talk About Love
Klappentext:
What We Talk About When We Talk About Love is Carver\'s most famous collection of short stories and remians 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 reveals 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 and, in the questions it raises, may just spark off one of the great cultural debates of our times.
Rezension:
"Beginners is unlikely to replace What We Talk About When We Talk About Love. Instead, it will be in dialogue with it, because the story has no end: there will always be afterthoughts" Sarah Churchwell Guardian
