“Where I’m Calling From” by Raymond Carver is a short story about a man’s struggle with Alcoholism, and his encounters at a drying-out facility or treatment center. The story itself seems very straight forward in the way it’s presented, 3rd person perspective, narrative writing style, realism (ENotes.com), but in actuality there’s a lot more to the story. The story displays numerous themes such as the narrators own self-destruction, his fight to overcome his addiction, and his possible feelings of regret and responsibility. Carver also uses tone, imagery, and symbolism to take the audience to places they might not experience in their own life. This short story by Raymond Carver is worth analyzing because there’s much more to it than what is on the surface, from the numerous themes presented throughout the story, to the use of imagery and symbolism to drive the story through its stages.
