Will You Please Be Quiet, Please? by Raymond Carver
The first collection of stories from "one of the great short story writers of our time" (The Philadelphia Inquirer) breathed new life into the American short story, showing us the humor and tragedy that dwell in the hearts of ordinary people."[Carver's stories] can ... be counted among the masterpieces of American Literature." --The New York Times Book Review
"One of the great short story writers of our time--of any time." --The Philadelhpia Inquirer
"The whole collection is a knock out. Few writers can match Raymond Carver's entwining style and language." --The Dallas Morning News
Raymond Carver was born in Clatskanie, Oregon, in 1938. His first collection of stories, Will You Please Be Quiet, Please (a National Book Award nominee in 1977), was followed by What We Talk About When We Talk About Love, Cathedral (nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in 1984), and Where I'm Calling From in 1988, when he was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He died August 2, 1988, shortly after completing the poems of A New Path to the Waterfall. William L. Stull is a professor of English at the University of Hartford. Maureen P. Carroll is an adjunct professor of humanities at the University of Hartford and a practicing attorney.
