“I could hear my heart beating. I could hear everyone’s heart. I could hear the human noise we sat there making, not one of us moving, not even when the room went dark.”

Good story and good movie, though different from short story. Movies need romance so PKD gets romance in his movies. They are good movies and would not have been successful films otherwise. I hope PKD's descendents are rich and content. I loved PKD before seeing his stories filmed. He was brilliant.

So cool, how'd you find this?

One of the best kissing scenes ever

We cannot be free until they are free ❤ Powerful! Little did he know that he opened the door for everyone ❤

I used to live in LA near Santa Monica, I had several friends were graduates of UCLA . We had long long discussioins on the existence of Don Juan. The concensus we came to was this was a creation of Carlos Castenada's imagination. However the creation of the character is based on alot of anthropological research of Mr. Castenada and his colleague students in Anthropology. So there were several curious repetetive signs if you put all the books together, with interviews, etc. and there is a very very strong suspicion that Don Juan is a fake. For example no one was able to see the scores of tapes that Mr. Castenada claimed were interviews. Again however, it can't be definitely proven either way. We have tyo give Mr. Castenada credit. He is a very good story creator.

This is great. Never thought I would hear this again. So thanks for posting.

Where does the dancing reindeer and midgets come in?

Love Carver, but I'm find him easier to read than to listen to.

Very powerfull words.

In my mind James Baldwin is our greatest American author

This is pure gold.

Love the guy but he doesn't have the voice of a Bukowski

Carver writes the craziest shit. You can actually forget the horrors of modern day Republican nazism by listening or reading his stories. I wish dumpies would eat rat poison. All of them like a cult trying to find their sicko white nirvana.

If only people knew he is a sellout to his race for constantly using the N word to uplift his career, he would have never been offered that reading.

Tears of A Clown when on one's around Smokey Robinson.

Chris butchered such a beautiful poem

𝓟Ř𝔬𝓂𝔬𝐒ϻ ❣️

Amazing and Powerful voice.

Nice

I already had so much respect for Chris Rock and loved hearing him read this out. Heating this being read out now is coloured by Chris' humanity. Adds another layer to a beautiful piece of writing

Thank you for uploading this

Holy shit

Wonderful. Carver censors his own cursing.

Here are Bible verses that show us that Jesus Christ is God... Philippians 2:5-6 “You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to.” John 17:21 “That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.” John 1:18 “No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.“ Colossians 2:9-10 “For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily. and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority.“ John 10:33 “We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.“ John 5:18 “This was why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.“ John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.“ John 1:14 “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.“ 1 John 5:20 “And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.“ Romans 10:13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” John 8:57-58 “The people said, “You aren’t even fifty years old. How can you say you have seen Abraham?” Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, before Abraham was even born, I Am!” John 8:22-24 “This made the Jews ask, “Will he kill himself? Is that why he says, ‘Where I go, you cannot come’?” But he continued, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. 24 I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am he, you will indeed die in your sins.” John 13:18-19 “I am not referring to all of you; I know those I have chosen. But this is to fulfill this passage of Scripture: ‘He who shared my bread has turned against me.’ “I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe that I am who I am. Isaiah 44:6 “Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: “I am the first and I am the last; besides me there is no god.” 1 Corinthians 8:6 “Yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.” Revelation 2:8 “And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: ‘The words of the first and the last, who died and came to life.“ Revelation 1:17-18 “When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, “Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.“ Matthew 2:1-2 “After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” Matthew 28:8-9 “So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him.“ Acts 7:59-60 “And as they were stoning Stephen, he called out, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” And falling to his knees he cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.“ Matthew 28:19 “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” 2 Corinthians 13:14 “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.” John 20:27-28 “Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.” Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!” 2 Peter 1:1 “Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ.“ Acts 20:28 “Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood.“

“Did you replace my Gin with water???”

Jesus. I'm 5 minutes in and could really use some chocolate and a hug.

If you like Carver`s short stories, maybe you would like also "The gradual approach of the evening", a feature film that talks about the lockdown in London. It consists in six short stories inspired to Carver. "Student`s wife", "Boxes" and "Preservation" are the source of three of these episode. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKK8Y4GbobmCfac

Eloquent!

i found myself when i found Ray Carver. i learned that much.

Trigger warnings are gay

Can u believe that some ***expletive** actually put a thumbs down

😭😭

Nigga balls

Did we ever find out? What's the answer? What do we talk about, when we talk about love?

for context, I think this was held in Riverside Church (Morningside Heights, NYC) around 2016 when he hosted the Oscars

What is the whole room going dark at the end? Does he black out?

Carver was a genius. All writing comes from experience; but somehow Carver experienced his own time and place deepest. He was drinking during this recital: heavy breathing and slurring. He was hurried, perhaps that was his pace, but he read this faster than one should read it. The minimalism of Hemingway - as much as I appreciate it - pales in comparison to the crisp clearness of Carver, for a modern day reader or listener. I mention Hemingway because the dialogue is so tiring. Back and forth. "Terry said" "Mel said". Its a lot like Hemingway. Carver is better because at the finality, there is just more of a treasure gained. See "A Day's Wait" by Hemingway. We are waiting for "day's wait." Just didn't nail it.
