Raymond Carver

I followed Colin's and Matt's literary recommenations (thanks) and read Carver. And I have been reading him since. And I have been reading it at the same time that Manu was reading it. I wonder if we are all connected, the same way all the characters in "Short Cuts" (the movie Robert Altman directed based on Raymond Carver's stories).
I have been loving it. In a depressive and masochistic kind of way. The same way I love Miller, Bukowski, Kundera or Sartre. The characters in his stories seem to find out that maybe life isn't as great as it was promised to them. I like the honesty of that statement and the simple and minimalist way on how he unveils the stories.
