Payday is coming up Thursday. I came across a big collection of Raymond Carver's short stories on Amazon and I'm strongly tempted to get it.
I've only read a small handful of Carver's stories (and poems), but "Cathedral" is a beautifully human story-- it starts off a bit humorous, but something like an unspoken miracle occurs at the end. I'll never forget having it read aloud in a writing workshop years ago, hearing it for the first time and the end had me in tears.
