The author's other works are many but include "Cathedral," "Will You Please Be Quiet, Please?," "Winter Insomnia," and "Furious Seasons." Though Carver was sober during his final decade of life, his struggles with alcohol were well known. In "The Art of Fiction, No. 76" Carver stated: "I suppose I began to drink heavily after I'd realized that the things I'd wanted most in life for myself and my writing, and my wife and children, were simply not going to happen. It's strange. You never start out in life with the intention of becoming bankrupt or an alcoholic or a cheat and a thief. Or a liarI'm not any longerIf you want the truth, I'm prouder of that, that I've quit drinking, than I am of anything in my life." In "Where I'm Calling From," a sober Carver delves into abuse, restless addiction, profound self-destructive impulses and the bleak results of things left unsaid between family and lovers. New York Time's Book Review's Marilynn Robinson (1988) suggested that in this final collection, Carver's "impulse to simplify is like an attempt to create a hush, not to hear less, but to hear better."
