«Catedral» is Raymond Carver's collection of short stories, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardcover (208 pages, in Spanish).
The stories portray ordinary people —workers, drifting couples, drinkers— battered by a difficult reality, with spare style and contained tension. Carver turns the ordinary into a stage for small terrors and imminences, and grants his characters a heroic dimension against a relentless world.
Translation by Benito Gómez Ibáñez. Panorama de narrativas collection.
For readers of contemporary fiction who appreciate the short story and the minimalist style of American narrative.
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."
