Book Reviews of Short Cuts: Selected Stories
Book Review: A good introduction to Carver's cold world
Summary: 4 Stars
This short, digestible collection of a handful of Carver's stories makes a good introduction to his work. I haven't seen the movie, but reading Robert Altman's superficial, self-congratulatory introduction suggests to me that it probably wasn't very good.
Nonetheless, I guess some good came of the movie, because it resulted in the publishing of these stories together, unencumbered by the overwhelming hugeness of most Carver collections that are still found in stores.
