![]() ![]() ![]() “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love” is one of Carver’s most famous short stories. However, there is debate among scholars about whether Carver’s style was really his own or the creation of Carver’s editor, Gordon Lish, who severely altered the majority of Carver’s stories from 1971 up until 1983. ![]() Scholars credit Carver with reviving the popularity of the short story genre, and his work has impacted a number of late 20th-century writers, including American short story writers Richard Ford and Tobias Wolff. Carver published comparatively little in his lifetime-five short story collections and eight poetry anthologies-partly due to his alcohol use. Carver was influenced by the works of Russian playwright and esteemed short story writer Anton Chekhov, Irish novelist and dramatist Samuel Beckett, and American novelist John Gardner. ![]()
