The Salisbury Cathedral in Britain (Photo by Damian Flanagan) By Damian Flanagan It s been many years since I read Raymond Carver s iconic short story, Cathedral (1981), so I thought I might reread it. The plot runs something like this: a wife announces to her husband, in some humdrum East Coast American town, that an old friend a middle-aged blind man who she used to work for is coming to stay. The blind man has over the years become her great confidant, someone with whom she exchanges her emotional problems and deepest feelings.
