His writing went to shit in the latter decades of his life because he was an alcoholic wreck. Most of his work post-WW2 is abysmal.

Didn't read much from that period. Some days ago I finished his Collected Stories, a compilation published in 1951 I think. Most of them were real fine.

What about Carver? He wrote some of his best under the influence of the bottle.
