Beautiful stories by one of Raymond Carver's writing teachers

This is a collection of wise, graceful, richly composed short stories about people who live in on the northern coast of California, which happens to be where Day himself has lived and worked for several decades. It so happens that in the early 1960's Day had a student only few years younger than himself. His name was Raymond Carver. Day's stories stand on their own -- in fact, when you read these stories you can't help but wonder if Carver didn't first learn his habit of careful observation in Day's writing workshops. These are terrific stories and they deserve many readers.
