Paper Summary:

This paper discusses how Raymond Carver's stories reflect his own life experiences and show a change in style over time. As such, the stories he wrote also changed in flavor as his life changed. The paper attempts to show that, whether it was his own struggle with alcoholism or his experiences working in a sawmill, many of the settings and situations in Carver's stories can be linked to his real life. The paper also looks at how a progression is apparent in the stories "Will You Please Be Quiet, Please," "So Much Water, So Close to Home," "Cathedral," and "Errand" and how each of these stories, written at different times in Carver's life, has a different style and feel, showing his progression as a writer.

From the Paper:

"In Carver's 1976 story "Will You Please Be Quiet, Please?" the author very effectively chooses detail and description to build up suspense and concern for the main character, Ralph. After finding out that his wife has cheated on him, Ralph has a night on the town where, among other things, he is mugged. Both his wife's cheating and his current uncomfortable situation do not need excessive detail to evoke empathy in the reader. Carver simply shows up, through the clear cause and effect, how events unfold for Ralph and his wife. Bethea believes that Ralph and Marian having sex at the end shows an epiphany in Ralph (133). "
