Cathedral

For American literature, Raymond Carver is the No. 1 master of short prose, one of the most important names of the 20th century. He was called the "American Chekhov". Hemingway, Faulkner, and Bukowski inspired him. Carver is wonderfully sympathetic and honest without being pretentious or unbiased. His view only aims to describe and reveal the world as he sees it. And this look is so clear that it hurts the heart.

Here is the second collection of stories by the American master of short prose, published in Ukrainian by our publishing house. If compared to the previous one - "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love", in this one, Carver moves away from absolute minimalism and allows himself to write more expansively and generously. "The Cathedral" was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize and is considered the author's best collection of short stories.
