Carver, Raymond (1938-1988) Cathedral, inscribed first edition.
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1983.
First edition, octavo; inscribed by Carver "For Steve with my thanks and good wishes always," dated September 21, 1983, in black ink on the title; original gray cloth-backed boards lettered with silver; with the unclipped pictorial jacket (one or two tiny nicks, creasing to lower flap); 8 1/4 x 5 3/8 in.
This watershed collection heavily contributed to Carver's legacy of reviving the short-story format in the United States during the late 20th century. Among his three most well-known works, Cathedral is hailed as his magnum opus.
