CARVER, Raymond. CATHEDRAL. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1983. First 
Edition. 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. Still Near Fine. (#017433)        $600.00
