The first collection of stories from “one of the great short story writers of our time” (The Philadelphia Inquirer) breathed new life into the American short story, showing us the humor and tragedy that dwell in the hearts of ordinary people. "[Carver's stories] can ... be counted among the masterpieces of American Literature." —The New York Times Book Review "One of the great short story writers of our time—of any time." —The Philadelhpia Inquirer "The whole collection is a knock out. Few writers can match Raymond Carver's entwining style and language." —The Dallas Morning News

What do you and your wife know about your son's condition?' Dr. Davis asked. 'Very little,' I said. 'However, we've been told not to worry too much about it.' Dr. Davis looked at me a second or two before commenting further. This was a definite clue to brace myself for what would follow. 'Your son was born with Spina Bifida.' There was a noticeable concern in his voice. 'What is Spina Bifida?' I asked. This is a real life story about a young man, David, born with Spina Bifida with multiple congenial birth defects. After David's birth, his parents were strongly urged to place him in an institution since his future, according to medical history of these types of births prior to 1970, would be dim. His parents were warned he most likely would be severely retarded and non-functional. They were told by a prominent pediatrician to expect nothing and appreciate anything. Through infancy until the day of his death, David's faith and love for God grew stronger each year. His drive and his belief in God's healing grace brought him much comfort and a desire to help and serve others. This young man touched a whole community, a whole region. David's father, Sheldon Larmore, never thought of writing a book. However, after his son's death many people in the community encouraged him to put the story of David's life in writing. It wasn't until he received several gentle nudges from God to do so that he realized the need to complete this book. David's life has served as an inspiration for his family and friends—it will do the same for you. You will find encouragement, strength, and renewed faith in Be Quiet and Listen.
