Quote:《需要时，就给我电话》
Call If You Need Me includes all of the prose previously collected in No Heroics, Please, four essays from Fires, and those five marvelous stories that range over the period of Carver's mature writing and give his devoted readers a final glimpse of the great writer at work.
本书为卡佛小说﹑散文﹑随笔和书评的合集，所选文章以类相从，全景敞视般地展示出卡佛风格的多样性，从而使读者得以窥见其一生文学创作的丰富维度。此书还特别收录五篇新近发现的卡佛生前未结集的短篇作品。阅读卡佛，读者可见其对现代社会中底层人边缘性的关注，其实也是自身经历的一种言说，时至今日仍可引起绝大多数人共鸣。此合集沿袭了卡佛一贯的风格，文风冷峻，看似削到嶙峋的文字之中其实蕴含无尽深意。
