This powerful collection of stories, set in the Northwest among the lonely men and women who drink, fish and play cards to ease the passing of time, was the first by Raymond Carver to be published in the UK. With its spare, colloquial narration and razor-sharp sense of how people really communicate, the collection went on to become one of the most influential pieces of literary fiction.

Reviewed by Luis ALVEstos cuentos, y algunos sketches, son de una gran potencia emotiva, todos ellos construyen obsesiones, culpas y, sobre todo, el momento en que toda posible vuelta se torna inalcanzable.<br/><br/>Los sketches me gustaron menos qunque reconozco las sensaciones que consiguen y que, para ser escenas y no tanto estructuras dramáticas, son muy efectivos; pero los cuentos son de una brutalidad genial.
