Anyone who knows anything, knows what Carver was (and is), what he can be, could be. This book is everything conveyed with next to nothing, it is more, so much more.
Raymond Carver may have been a master short story writer, but with this collection it's apparent that he wasn't quite there yet. Every story is well written, and there are flashes of brilliance, but for every good story here there is a corresponding dull one.
I had borrowed almost all of the available Carver short story collections but the sparse style does gets old fairly quickly - I enjoyed a few stories in "Will You Please Be Quiet, Please?" but can't quite give a full hearted recommendation.
