Raymond Clevie Carver Jr. (May 25, 1938 – August 2, 1988) was an American short story writer and poet. He published his first collection of stories, *Will You Please Be Quiet, Please?,* in 1976. His breakout collection, *What We Talk About When We Talk About Love* (1981), received immediate acclaim and established Carver as an important figure in the literary world. It was followed by *Cathedral* (1983), which Carver considered his watershed and is widely regarded as his masterpiece. The definitive collection of his stories, *Where I'm Calling From,* was published shortly before his death in 1988. In their 1989 nomination of Carver for the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, the jury concluded, "The revival in recent years of the short story is attributable in great measure to Carver's mastery of the form."
