Cathedral by Raymond Carver Summary
In Cathedral, Carver describes the meeting between a relatively ordinary guy and a blind man, for whom his wife used to work. After the death of his wife, this man, Robert, comes to visit the woman and her husband, the narrator. The story begins with Robert's arrival. At first, the narrator is disgusted by him, as he's never met a blind man before, and he is rude to Robert throughout the evening.
