Raymond Carver is a classic of 20th-century American literature, an outstanding master of the short form, and a heir to Hemingway, Faulkner, and Chekhov. He has been called a minimalist and a "dirty realist," yet "his stories always have a unique strangeness, echoes of myth" (Los Angeles Times). He won the O. Henry Award several times and was a finalist for the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize. Robert Altman adapted his stories into the film Short Cuts (starring Andie MacDowell, Jack Lemmon, Julianne Moore, Robert Downey Jr., Tim Robbins, and Tom Waits), which won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. Alejandro González Iñárritu's four-time Oscar-winning Birdman (starring Michael Keaton, Edward Norton, Emma Stone, and Naomi Watts), filmed in one continuous take, revolves around adapting Carver's short story "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love" for the Broadway stage.

This edition contains the author's collection Cathedral, new stories from Where I'm Calling From—an anthology of the master's new and best prose—and a number of additional materials. Most of the stories are published in Russian for the first time or in new translations, the rest are in new editions.
