Raymond Carver said it was possible ''to write about commonplace things and objects using commonplace but precise language and endow these things - a chair, a window curtain, a fork, a stone, a woman''s earring - with immense, even startling power''. Nowhere is this alchemy more striking than in the title story of
Cathedral in which a blind man guides the hand of a sighted man as together they draw the cathedral the blind man can never see.
Many view this story, and indeed this collection, as a watershed in the maturing of Carver''s work to a more confidently poetic style.
