Cathedral - Raymond Carver - One Star ☆
I did not finish this collection of Carver short stories. The protagonist in the short story Cathedral is an asshole. "Ah, but he changes," everyone will say. I believe the protagonist does not have a "Road to Damascus" moment. He just has a moment. In the morning when he rolls out of bed he will still be an asshole.
In Chef's House Edna leaves a budding relationship to return to a former failed relationship. She seems to have forgotten there was a reason it had failed. What is that saying about repeating something over and over and expecting a different outcome? Edna is a fool.
If I want to spend time with assholes and fools I can go for a drive on the freeway and sidestep the Raymond Carver.
