Where I'm Calling From
Categories: Literature & Fiction
Where I'm Calling From is a 1988 collection of stories by Raymond Carver, published shortly before his death. It gathers new stories along with work selected from his earlier books, including Cathedral. Carver's stories center on working-class people in small towns and apartments: couples drifting apart, men struggling with drinking, families short of money. Written in spare, precise prose, the collection includes celebrated stories such as Cathedral, A Small, Good Thing, and Errand, about the death of Chekhov.
