Metaphorical Structure in Raymond Carver's 'Distance' and 'Everything Stuck to him'
Pacor, Andrea
1997
Abstract
'Distance' by Raymond Carver first appeared in the early short story collection "Furious Seasons". It was then greatly revised, shortened and retitled 'Everything Stuck to Him'. Its final version was in the end included in Carver’s selected story collection entitled "Where I’m Calling From", published in 1988. The author of this essay analyses the revision effectuated by Carver by focusing on the stories’ metaphorical elements and their structural functions. Short extracts of the different versions are used in order to illustrate the differences that resulted in the text of the short story.
