From the author: In studying Raymond Carver, the problem of revision has been one of the most significant issues, often related to the problem regarding his hallmark style as a "minimalist." Several critics, paying attention to different versions of Carver's works, have seen "development" or "evolution" from minimalism to realism; others disagree with this idea. In this article, I address the problem of revision in Carver by exploring the difference in narrative control in different versions of Carver's "So Much Water So Close to Home." Closely examining such stylistic aspects as the discourse structure and speech presentation, this article investigates how stylistic revisions serve to make different agencies of narrative control as well as to construct different types of implied reader in different versions. This stylistic analysis may shed new light not only on the narrator-text--and reader-text--relationship but also on the nature of Carver's "revision," which can be regarded as his continuous experiment on textual representation.
