With his powerful instinct for etching heartache, Carver would have written worthy stories with or without his editor. Whether we would be reading that work in an edition designed for the ages is another question, one that's as unanswerable as it is provocative. Sublimely portable and long-overdue. Mr. Lish's editing of the stories improved their pace and concision—frequently at the cost of simply cutting them short or injecting a note of ambiguity. If Mr. Carver's original versions often fail to reach a satisfying moral conclusion in "Beginners," Mr. Lish often guts these stories so thoroughly that their central dilemmas disappear. "Beginners" is published for the first time in "Collected Stories," and although it comes at the end, it can't help but function as a centerpiece. That's either as it should be or a significant problem, depending on your perspective, but regardless, it skews the way the collection showcases Carver's career. The purpose of a retrospective is not so much to highlight individual stories as to trace how a writer's aesthetic has grown. Here, the prominence of "Beginners" adds a subtext that threatens to subvert the larger arc. Onderdeel van de uitgeversreeks(en)Library of America (195) Bevat
