For American literature, Raymond Carver is the No. 1 master of short fiction, one of the most important names of the twentieth century. He has been called the "American Chekhov" and was inspired by Hemingway, Faulkner, and Bukowski. Carver is surprisingly compassionate and honest, not at all pretentious or impartial. His view is aimed only at describing and revealing the world as he sees it. And this view is so clear that it makes your heart ache.

This is the second collection of short stories by the American master of short fiction, published in Ukrainian by our publishing house. Compared to the previous one, «What We Talk About When We Talk About Love», in this one Carver departs from absolute minimalism and allows himself to write more extensively and generously. «Cathedral» was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize and is considered the best collection of the author's short stories.
