Scissors by Stéphane Michaka

3.0

Interesting if underwhelming fictional account of life of Raymond Carver, dealing particularly with Carver's relationship with his editor Gordon Lish. Lish (Douglas in this book) was known to have made drastic cuts to Carver's stories before publishing them, hence the title. Author Michaka actually created four short stories written by the fictional Raymond that are part of the narrative. Translated from French.
