Will You Please Be Quiet, Please?
Raymond Carver

Will You Please Be Quiet, Please? was the first major-press short-story collection by American writer Raymond Carver. Described by contemporary critics as a foundational text of Minimalist fiction, its stories offered an incisive and influential telling of disenchantment in the mid-century American working class.
