No full textOn July 8th, 1980, Raymond Carver wrote an impassioned letter to his editor, Gordon Lish, begging him to cancel the publication of what would soon become Carver’s minimalist masterpiece, What We Talk About When We Talk About Love.

Beginners exemplifies how textual restorations deflate cultural myths as they work with original texts to enrich our understandingEnglishMaster of Arts (MA
