Cathedral | 
I have read quite a few short story collections this years & Carver's Cathedral is easily one of the best. Several of these have now entered the modern canon of the short story form, & for good reason. But there are other, less well-known works in the collection that deeply moved me: A Small, Good Thing & The Compartment. Carver's stories are filled with blue-collar workers, misfits & oddballs but many of them are just trying to make it (cont)
pickWhen I was in high school, an English teacher of mine suggested I read the short story “Cathedral” by Raymond Carver. Upon finishing it, I immediately went out and bought the whole collection and devoured it. His stories are dark and tense and unsettling and I loved every second of this book.
#80s @ValerieAndBooks Has been posting about Bright Lights ,Big City. I pulled some Vintage Contemporaries from the shelves. The earliest ones have the white wrap around. Found the Carver and the Brodkey at a church sale this weekend.Have read the Carver years ago but not the Brodkey.
For #LandmarksOfMyCity , I am picking my favorite place, which is The National Cathedral in Washington, DC. It isn‘t in my town. It is about an hour away, but I love it so much that it feels like mine. Besides, it is said to be a Cathedral for all people, where everyone is welcome. 💕💜
I found it in Spanish, and it's my motivation to start reading again... I lost myself and Carver will make me come back!
A short story a day keeps the doctor away. Carver was truly a masterful storyteller.
pickWhat we're discussing in lit class today. I love this short story.
I love everything about Raymond Carver. I think that his blunt writing style is amazing. I just read his poem "After -Glow" during my poetry class and it made me miss his work. I want to read more of his work. I want to read more poems. I wish that I went to college when he was a guest lecturer at Syracuse University. I would be there every day.
pickCarver shakes the title of being a minimalist. The stories are all great, but the title story surpasses.
