The following shows the original Carver story 'Beginners' and the changes made by Lish which turned it into 'What We Talk About When We Talk about Love'. Fascinating and illuminating.

I got the full collection last year. I reckon Lish did him a massive favour.

Read Carver's biography as well recently. Incredibly detailed.
