Well, you must know about the Gordon Lish controversy. Supposedly, the guru/editor reinvented Raymond Carver by cutting his prose down to within an inch of its life and started the whole minimalist thing in the eighties. See "Where I'm Calling From: New and Selected Stories" to get the full picture of Carver's style. Also, there is an article about Gordon Lish on Salon which is pretty amusing "Lashed By Lish" about a student in one of his crazy seminars. Sorry, I can't do that link thing.
