Cathedral (Mandarin Edition)

《大教堂》 Cathedral is a collection of short stories that overflow with the danger, excitement, mystery and possibility of life. These similar stories, very skillful within their narrow limits, were written with a dry intensity, and moving, at their climaxes, from the commonplace to the unnerving. 雷蒙德·卡弗是近年美国杰出的短篇小说家。六七十年代的美国社会动荡、思潮澎湃，作者从忧患困顿中脱颖而出，十年间发表了好几部集子，都属畅销。他的作品写的几乎全是社会中下阶层，失业无告，婚变心碎，贫病自弃之人。写作手法也颇为独特，人称“极简派”或“峻削派”。其作品曾多次获奖，屡屡被选做经典语文读本，并被译成二十多种文字。《大教堂》是卡佛的短篇小说集，1983年出版后,日文版和英国版随即出版并被提名普利策奖。本书中文译本是首次授权出版,由青年作家、芝加哥大学文学博士肖铁倾心翻译。
