Book Reviews of Will You Please Be Quiet, Please?: Stories
Book Review: In the presence of greatness.
Summary: 5 Stars
...It is a conundrum that some of our greatest writers are so under-read if you like. What you get with RAYMOND CARVER is a deep insight into human behaviour and emotion. His stories are often set around the mundane and frequently have no satisfactory resolution of the problems/situations that confront the main characters , but what a web this man spins. It is the sign of greaatness to do all of the above in such simple but effective language.
His style of writing is so different , that you may find like I did , that initially you are confused by the stories within this book. Persist. It took me about three stories until I skipped to THE STUDENT'S WIFE and then followed this by reading BICYCLES , MUSCLES, CIGARETTES .
SMACK!
They literally blew me away.
Buy this book and treasure the wisdom within I am not a re-reader of books but I found myself reading this again .
Rest in peace RAYMOND CARVER . You brought a devasting original voice into the short story form , and for that I salute you.
