Not Raymond Carver

This isn’t Raymond Carver’s stories. It’s Brian Evenson’s experience of them. Narration is nice though.

Not the book

Delightfully deceiving description masterfully crafted for the inattentive. I blame everyone but myself. You got me, Mr. Evenson.

Disappointment

I wanted Carver not Evenson. I should have read the reviews. All the same I feel a bit cheated and that you should give me my credit back.

This is not Raymond Carver's book

This is someone.else writing about the book. Now what I thought I was ordering. I would mind less if it was not so dull. Audible rip off.
