Cathedral

Amazing book. You know a short story writer is truly fantastic when each and every story hits you hard in the gut. But there's nothing spectacular or over the top about these stories - every day people in very ordinary experiences. Yet the power and special sadness of each story so sharply speaks to the experience of humans and our everyday relationships with each other. Each and every story is beautifully brief and poignant. Definitely would recommend to anyone who appreciates amazing, tactful writing.
