I believe this short-story is one that would be open to many interpretations, so mine might or might not have any semblance to yours. I thought it was about prejudices, preconceived ideas, and walking a mile in another man's shoes.I had no Idea who Raymond Carver was before I picked this collection of short stories. Of course, I asked the great oracles of the Internet to feed me information about him, and they told me that Mr.Carver is one of the American literary gods who revived the dying short story literary form in the 80s. My primary concern was for the short story medium that almost died in the 80s, and don't worry, I checked and they are thriving nowadays.As I read Carver's stories, I understood that he is a
I just now finished the story "A Small, Good Thing," and I want to share something. Raymond Carver is amazing. His writing translates human behavior and ordinary experiences into something warm, comforting and profound. His perspective on human behavior seems spiritual, and he uses words like a poultice that heals a wound.More to come...The final story, from which the book gets its title, is a great one.

The final story, in particular, strikes home, since I once spent many hours in College with a guy who was blind as a stone, sitting up late hours, also (as in Cathedral), passing the hooch.... and talking about being blind and seeing and colors and sounds.... what a loss, Carver's early death! Oh, what a loss...I've now read the three collections -- and the feeling of sadness that there's not another one... just sort of
Our Favorite Faded FantasiesCarver winds and unwinds the silken threads which hold us together, our essential vulnerability as human beings, our failures, our disappointments. What I have loved about this set of stories is their tenderness and silence. Men and women are explored in a discreet, subtle writing style that is very effective. It implies and leaves much to the imagination but in a way that is not cerebral at all; rather the things Carver leaves unsaid are those we understand to the
