Cathedral
On finishing this magnficent collection, I am moved -- Carver is a gem. The final story, in particular, strikes home, since I once spent many hours in College with a guy who was blind as a stone, sitting up late hours, also (as in Cathedral), passing the hooch.... and talking about being blind and seeing and colors and sounds.... what a loss, Carver's early death! Oh, what a loss...I've now read the three collections -- and the feeling of sadness that there's not another one... just sort of smothers the heart.... well, I know there are seven more stories in Where I'm Calling From... and maybe I'll find a copy of that someday....
but for now... I can only say that having passed these hours w/ Carver -- is a lot like having spent them... dare I say it..., in a Cathedral....
