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.
