Only the blind man, Robert, seems able to form lasting human connections. The wife has earlier tried to commit suicide because of loneliness. The narrator drinks too much and seems unable to adequately communicate with his wife. “Cathedral,” like many of Carver’s other stories, portrays individuals isolated from each other for a variety of reasons. Adam Meyer, in his book, Raymond Carver, argues that “Carver is at the height of his powers here, having arrived at his full maturity, and Cathedral as a whole is certainly the most impressive of his collections.” Many critics note a shift in Carver’s work between the publication of What We Talk About When We Talk About Love and Cathedral, and many believe that Carver reached the zenith of his career with this collection. This volume was very well-received by critics and readers alike, receiving nominations for the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Pulitzer Prize. It was selected to appear in The Best American Short Stories, 1982, and became the title story in the 1983 collection, Cathedral. The first publication of the short story “Cathedral” was in the March, 1981, issue of Atlantic Monthly. ![]() ![]() ![]() Theaters and authors profiled victims and events from the news of the day.

Instead, Flanders organizes the text according to who killed whom: husband/wife, servants/employers, etc. ![]() Since the author does not present the murders chronologically, it’s difficult to tell if the murder trials had any effect on the evolution of the rights of defendants. Flanders devotes most of her book to murders-one after another after another, many sensational, others notable for the innocence of the executed. The author does not track the history of crime-solving during this period most crimes were solved by the simple expedient of someone pointing a finger. The accused had very few rights, and those who couldn’t afford to pay a lawyer were on their own. Flanders ( Consuming Passions: Leisure and Pleasure in Victorian Britain, 2006, etc.) attempts to trace the growth of murder and its detection in Victorian England. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Messi can be enjoyed by a nation that now has some appropriate appreciation of his genius.
