Item #017433 CATHEDRAL. Raymond CARVER.

CATHEDRAL

New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1983. First Edition. Softcover. Uncorrected Proof in plain blue printed wraps. Although his previous collection achieved some popularity, this title is really Carver's breakthrough and break-away (from the restraints of Gordon Lish's style) book. In it, Carver moved beyond the constraining label of minimalism to mine an emotional depth not present in his previous work and which would blossom fully in his next and last book. The title story and "A Small, Good Thing" rank among the best stories of the latter twentieth century. SIGNED by the author on the title page. Faint stain on the bottom of the front cover with a small, darker stain on the rear cover; slight crease upper front corner. Still Near Fine. Item #017433

Price: $600.00
