It works because his writing is real. We don't go about our days enjoying every colour, scent etc. We don't live our lives noting every extraneous detail, and his writing leaves them out too.

Towards the end of my Sunday, I decided to look at the r/books subreddit. Somebody commented on a thread about Raymond Carver's writing. I have never read any Raymond Carver. In summation, they said his writing was real because he left out things that normal people usually do not comment on during their day to day lives. I enjoyed reding this comment. I must remember to write this in my diary.
