Short Cuts: Selected Stories by Raymond Carver
4.0
Man, sometimes it feels like being married in the suburbs is actually soul crushing. Wow, makes you think. What a trenchant insight Mr Carver. I mean... wow!
But in all seriousness this is a solid collection of 'matter-of-fact' stories of dissolving marriages and people's lives crumbling around them. There are a few standouts 'A Small Good Thing' being the ultimate body blow (tho kind of a cheat tbh) but often they kind of run together into a series of bad husbands drinking and sad wives thinking.
