Cathedral. First edition, first printing, signed by the author on the title page, "Raymond Carver, Seattle, 8.19.85". This collection of 12 stories was a finalist for the 1984 Pulitzer Prize."Carver's contributions to American literature are substantial. Carver reinvented realism for postmoderns, prompted a revival of the short story form, and bore witness to the losses and longings of working people on the dark side of the American dream. By precept and example, he inspired a younger generation of writers whose fiction is, like his, both lyrical and realistic" (ANB).
