Raymond Carver's Short Fiction in the History of Black HumorAuthor :
Hardback
Published : Tuesday 4 July 2006
Description
This first book-length study on the black humor in Raymond Carvers work includes valuable interpretations of Carvers aesthetics as well as the psycho-social implications of his short fiction. The presence of an indeterminate «menace» in the oppressive situations of black humor in Carver - as compared to a European tradition of existentialist writing and his American predecessors including Twain, Heller, Barth and others - is mitigated through humor so it is not dominant. As a result, a subtle promise emerges in the characters lives.
