Opis

Raymond Carver's fiction is widely known for its careful documentation of lower-middle-class North America in the 1970s and 80s. Building upon the realist understanding of Carver's work, this book uses a central concept of Bakhtin's novelistics to formulate a fresh context for understanding the celebrated author's minimalist fiction.
