Cathedral is a collection of short stories by acclaimed author Raymond Carver, considered a master of the genre. In these stories, Carver explores the daily lives of ordinary characters, manual laborers, and drifting couples, revealing the latent terrors in their ordinary existences. With a concise and laconic style, the author presents us with an implacable vision of reality, where his characters, despite the difficulties, reach a heroic dimension.
Raymond Clevie Carver Jr. was an American short story writer and poet. He published his first collection of stories, Will You Please Be Quiet, Please?, in 1976. His breakout collection, What We Talk About When We Talk About Love (1981), received immediate acclaim and established Carver as an important figure in the literary world. It was followed by Cathedral (1983), which Carver considered his watershed and is widely regarded as his masterpiece. The definitive collection of his stories, Where I'm Calling From, was published shortly before his death in 1988. In their 1989 nomination of Carver for the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, the jury concluded, "The revival in recent years of the short story is attributable in great measure to Carver's mastery of the form."
