Raymond Carver - Cathedral (Short Story)

"Cathedral" is a famous short story by Raymond Carver about an unnamed narrator whose prejudices against blind people are transformed through an unexpected connection with his wife's blind friend, Robert, culminating in a shared, revelatory moment of drawing a cathedral together with their eyes closed. The story explores themes of perception, communication, isolation, and empathy, as the narrator moves from initial discomfort and jealousy to a profound, if brief, moment of genuine human connection and expanded vision.
