Raymond Carver (Clatskanie, Oregon, May 25, 1938 – Port Angeles, Washington, August 2, 1988) was a prominent American writer and poet, recognized as one of the leading exponents of dirty realism and literary minimalism of the 20th century. His work is characterized by short stories that address the everyday life of the working class, using a concise style stripped of embellishments.

Among his most notable works are the short story collections "Will You Please Be Quiet, Please?" (1976), "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love" (1981), and "Cathedral" (1983). These publications solidified his reputation as a master of the short story. His ability to portray the complexity of human relationships and the challenges of everyday life earned him critical acclaim and positioned him as an influential figure in contemporary literature.
