Fullness out of Minimalism Interpretation on the Narrative Style of Raymond Carver' s“Cathedral”
摘要
Raymond Carver, American short story writer and poet is a major force in the revitalization of the short story in the ! 980s. Carver's writing permeates idiographic techniques and evocative insights into reality. "Cathedral" is the title story of Carver's outstanding collection Cathedral. The story relates that the narrator through the visit of his wife's blind friend eliminates the prejudice and goes out of shell of closed-off ignorance. Carver employs precise and concise language to develop plot and reveal characters' mind and sets tensions leading to character's epiphany. Through the setting of tensions, the achievement of epiphany, and the precise and concise narrative language, Carver makes fullness out of a minimalist style of writing.
