Short Cuts: Selected Stories by Raymond Carver

4.0

Everything from "A Small, Good Thing" on is amazing, except for maybe "Tell the Women..." which is like a Flannery O'Connor story with no jokes. All of these stories are tilted toward something, some atrocity or internal glitch that moves everything. There is a lot of physical and emotional violence against women and at least one dog. I am not really sure how great all of this in toto but there is storytelling magic here.
