What We Talk about When We Talk about Love by Raymond Carver

3.0

The stories I enjoyed were fantastic and haunting, whereas the ones I didn’t I was merely indifferent toward (especially the few that were only portraits of pathetic or repulsively cruel men), but the overall lingering effect of Carver’s characters and their peculiar plights is a disquieting loneliness. My favourites were “Why Don’t You Dance?”, “I Could See the Smallest Things,” “Sacks,” **”The Bath”**, “After the Denim,” and “The Third Thing That Killed My Father Off.”
