Cathedral Raymond Carver Audiobook 

Tell us your alternate title for this story! Go!

Two dudes get high and draw a church and hold hands.

This is my third short story I've listened to you read, for my English class and I really enjoy the way you pace yourself and speak with the emotions of the characters, Your reading of "Where are you going and where have you been" was just perfect, the expression, the emotion, the tone of your voice is just perfect, GREAT JOB

your way of telling the story is excellent! I can feel the rhythm, the breath and the abruptness of Raymond Carver.

This really helped! I struggle reading in a timely manner so putting this on 2x speed while I have the story in front of was perfect to get this fascinating story in before bed. Thank you for your help!

Oh man, I genuinely like to listen to audiobooks as often as possible. It's like a habit before heading to bed. I found it charming how you read out, It's like a friend of mine tells me a story about what has happened yesterday. Wish your best

One of my favorite short stories of all time.

How is this considered a "short story" at over half an hour long?

They're both blind essentially. The blind man however has at least used his capacities for attention and perception.

9.38

Bub goes from small minded assumptions against blind people to an intimate experience with Robert which is really transformative. Once he experiences the epiphany of the cathedral drawing, we see the beginnings of a new man who's dropped his prejudice and now has empathy where there was none. By the end of the story, we can even imagine 'Bub' doing nice things for the blind man. Like, for all we know, maybe the next day he took the blind man to the barber shop to get his ridiculous full-beard shaven off. Or perhaps the husband mightv'e done the blind man the favor of getting him a stick and seeing eye dog, like the blind people he knew from movies. We may never know the extent of Bub's evolution into a more connected and more caring person. But it is clearly significant. We can even imagine--after sharing the drawing experience--that Bub wouldv'e kept in touch with the blind man, independent of his wife. There's every possibility that the two men wouldv'e made it a point to hang out again, whether that meant Bub inviting the blind man back for another visit or Bub instead traveling out to see the blind man. This is something that wouldv'e been unthinkable before he met his wife's blind man and experienced such psychic and emotional growth. So ironically, we can say it's 'Bub' who's 'seen the light' and we can imagine him staying connected---as long as the husband first convinces the blind man to purchase some dark sun glasses so he's not forced for a second time to endure those creepy, independently on-the-roam eyes again, with their milky irises. God, it's too much. This was a beautiful story.
