The Real Carver: Expansive or Minimal?

The NY Times says tht Raymond Carver’s widow is spearheading an effort to publish a volume of his stories pre-Lish. ( See http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/17/books/17carver.html?ex=1193198400&en=ef2288f85b950c2d&ei=5070&emc=eta1 )

And Carol Sklenicka of San Francisco, says she is the author of a biography of an unauthorized biography of Raymond Carver forthcoming from Scribner and plans to "tell the true story". ( See http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/books/article2681557.ece )

Was Carver just a front man for Lish ?

Lack of references, non-adherence to Wiki guidelines/policies

Surely for someone of Gish's prominence, someone who knows his work and has access to the books listed here can go through and footnote the plethora of uncited claims. --Tenebrae (talk) 21:38, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

New Books on the way

Sources say that Captain Fiction has put pen to paper again! Two books are working through the publication process now and should be on shelves by the start of 2024 2600:1003:B03F:6DE3:69EB:FA2F:B0E2:9E9B (talk) 20:37, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
