SINOPSIS:

Se ha afirmado que el relato es la forma narrativa por excelencia en la literatura norteamericana actual y que Raymond Carver es el maestro indiscutible en este registro. En cada relato de Catedral se revela la presencia latente o la intrusión de "terrores extraordinarios en una existencia ordinaria" Cathleen Medwick . El propio Carver ha escrito: "Pienso que es bueno que en un relato haya un leve aire de amenaza... Debe haber tensión, una sensación de que algo es inminente". Sus personajes son gente de lo más común: trabajadores manuales, empleaduchos, parados, parejas a la deriva... desamparados, golpeados por la vida, muchos de ellos bebedores, acceden, a pesar suyo, a una suerte de dimensión heroica, tercos testimonios de una realidad implacable. Su estilo es escueto, lacónico, opera por sustracción; se ha dicho que Carver inaugura una nueva visión, un nuevo método, una nueva tonalidad. Raymond Carver CARVER RAYMOND Raymond Carver was born in Clatskanie, Oregon, in 1938. His first short stories appeared in Esquire during Gordon Lish's tenure as fiction editor in the 1970s. Carver's work began to reach a wider audience with the 1976 publication of Will You Please be Quiet, Please, but it was not until the 1981 publication of What We Talk About When We Talk About Love under Gordon Lish, then at Knopf, that he began to achieve real literary fame. This collection was edited by more than 40 per cent before publication, and Carver dedicated it to his fellow writer and future wife, Tess Gallagher, with the promise that he would one day republish his stories at full length. He went on to write two more collections of stories, Cathedral and Elephant, which moved away from the earlier minimalist style into a new expansiveness, as well as several collections of poetry. He died in 1988, aged fifty.
