Raymond Carver/"Little Things" and "Mine"

Number of Pages 3

A 3 page essay that contrasts and compares 2 versions of the same short story. In 1977, in his short story collection Furious Seasons, Raymond Carver included a story entitled "Mine," which he subsequently revised, with the revised and re-titled version, "Little Things" appearing in his 1989 collection, Where I'm Calling From. The two stories are virtually identical; however, comparing them reveals the logic of Carver's revision choices and it then becomes evident that the newer version, "Little Things," is the more compelling and dramatic narrative. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
