Short CutsBy: Raymond Carver 'I look at all of Carver's work as just one story, for his stories are all occurences, all about things that just happen to people and cause their lives to take a turn In formulating the mosaic of the film Short Cuts, which is based on these nine stories and a poem, 'Lemonade', I've tried to do the same thing to give the audience one look But it all began here. I was a reader turning these pages. Trying on these lives' Robert Altman
