«De qué hablamos cuando hablamos de amor» is the short story collection by Raymond Carver, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (160 pages, in Spanish).
The book brings together stories about couples on the verge of breaking up, companions embarking on desperate outings, and parents and children who cannot find a way to talk to each other. Carver portrays a tense, unjust and sometimes absurd universe, where the dry prose turns the everyday into a mirror of the human condition.
First edition in 1987; volume 107 of the Panorama de narrativas collection, translated from English by Jesús Zulaika Goicoechea.
For readers of contemporary fiction and short stories, especially those who appreciate North American literature of the 1980s.
Raymond Clevie Carver Jr. was an American short story writer and poet. He published his first collection of stories, Will You Please Be Quiet, Please?, in 1976. His breakout collection, What We Talk About When We Talk About Love (1981), received immediate acclaim and established Carver as an important figure in the literary world. It was followed by Cathedral (1983), which Carver considered his watershed and is widely regarded as his masterpiece. The definitive collection of his stories, Where I'm Calling From, was published shortly before his death in 1988. In their 1989 nomination of Carver for the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, the jury concluded, "The revival in recent years of the short story is attributable in great measure to Carver's mastery of the form."
