Résumé
Raymond Carver’s self-confessed “story of a writer,” “Put Yourself in My Shoes,” asks the reader to identify with the formal writerly process by which a story is created, rather than the readerly process of identifying with anecdote and as-if-real characters. As Carver has insisted, the “real story” of a story – as opposed to what non-writers like Mr. Morgan assume – lies in the actual process of creating a “coherent whole,” not in the mere events that provided the initial impetus to the creation of that whole. Although at the end of the story, Myers the character is at the conclusion of an event, Carver the writer is at the very beginning of the making of a coherent artistic whole. To put yourself in the shoes of Raymond Carver is to participate in the process of the creation of the work.
