The twenty-five conversations gathered here, several available in English for the first time, include craft interviews, biographical portraits, self-analyses, and wide-ranging reflections on the current literary scene. Carver discusses his changing views of his widely influential fiction collections \u003ci\u003eWhat We Talk About When We Talk About Love (1981), Cathedral (1983), and Where I m Calling From (1988). Carver explains how at the height of his fame as a fiction writer he turned to poetry, producing three prize-winning books in as many years. Finally, in the closing months of his life, he talks about the coming of his last triumphant stories, the ones that secured his reputation.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarshall Bruce Gentry\u003c\/b\u003e is author of \u003ci\u003eFlannery O'Connor's Religion of the Grotesque \u003c\/i\u003eand coeditor (with William L.
