The Red Truck

<p>This is the first Ravenna Press edition of Wilson's novel, a cult favorite originally published in 1987 by Knopf, with a new Introduction by Marc Kipniss. Published alongside his short story collection, Sonja's Blue, these books are interesting evidence in the controversy over the influence of former Knopf editor Gordon Lish (who edited The Red Truck but not the short stories.) Lish edited Wilson as he edited Raymond Carver, with dazzling results that may be compared to the author's original and unedited writing in Sonja's Blue.</p>

Ravenna Pr

A collection of shorter works by cult favorite Rudy Wilson, author of The Red Truck. The collection includes a prize-winning short story that appeared in The Paris Review as well as other short works and stand-alone sections of two other novels. Published alongside his reprinted first novel, The Red Truck, these books are interesting evidence in the controversy over the influence of former Knopf editor Gordon Lish (who edited The Red Truck but not the short stories.) Lish edited Wilson as he edited Raymond Carver, with dazzling results that may be compared between the edited The Red Truck and the author's original and unedited writing in Sonja's Blue.
