Cathedral: Stories.
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1983. First Printing of the First Edition. A Fine tight unread copy in a Fine, unclipped dust jacket. This collection of twelve short stories includes: Feathers; Chef's House; Preservation; The Compartment; A Small Good Thing; Vitamins; Careful; Where I'm Calling From; The Train; Fever; The Bridle; and Cathedral. Carver's style has also been described as dirty realism, a school of writers who focused on sadness and loss in the everyday lives of ordinary people—often lower-middle class or isolated and marginalized people. Carver saw Cathedral as a watershed in his career, in its shift towards a more optimistic and confidently poetic style. Item #23902
