About This Item
Jonathan Cape, London, 2009. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 1st Edition. First Edition (first printing). 8vo. viii, 212pp. Black boards lettered in silver at the spine. A fine copy in virtually fine non-price-clipped dust wrapper. The original unedited version of Carver's masterful collection of short fiction 'What We Talk About When We Talk About Love' (1981), which is almost twice the length of the final published collection (cuts were ordered by Carver's editor, Gordon Lish, causing the author to complain of "surgical amputation and transplant that might make them someway fit into the carton so the lid will close")..
