Summary/Abstract: This article looks at one of the most interesting aspects related to Raymond Carver's minimalist short fiction, i.e. the creative and philosophic transformation it undergoes. To that purpose, we analyze a number of early stories and compare them to revised versions and/or later stories in order to show how Carver moves through revision to solution.
