Do not believe a word of the hype and blurbs regarding this book. A middle-school child could have written this, and still come across with more of the truth in his fiction than Michaka coyly managed. It is not surprising to me that devotees of Lish have completely ignored this book. If it were any good there would have been some sort of outrage. A novel easily discounted for its poor attempt at copying important literary lives and a hopelessly failed attempt at exhibiting them on the page.

Based on the life of the great short-story writer Raymond Carver, particularly his last ten years, Scissorsis a funny, compassionate, and convincing portrayal of the creative life- its compulsions, rewards, and frustrations, and its affinities with tragedy. Raymond is a writer whose life is fraught with personal and creative struggle. His first marriage, to Marianne, is intense, passionate, and unhealthy. After his divorce, he finds new love and support with Joanne, a poet. All the while, Raymond is in an escalating conflict with his editor, Douglas, who both enhances and distorts Raymond's work. As his success and confidence grow, Raymond strives harder and harder to ensure that his stories are published as written, with his past drinking and his previous life with Marianne always lurking in the background. Douglas thinks the stories are as much his as Raymond's and is determined that only his, heavily edited, versions will appear in print. While Raymond considers his stories the most important part of his life, Marianne and Joanne claim stakes in them as well, leading to a dramatic and unexpected final confrontation with the man known as oScissors.o In this brilliantly inventive novel, Michaka crafts a searing tale about the struggles and sacrifices one must endure for both love and art.
