Cathedral is a very interesting piece written by Ramond Carver. I don't think we're supposed to like the narrator, as he's kind of a jerk. However, we don't really see him have an epiphany until he closes his eyes and gets the blind man's perspective. It's an interesting story about realizing that other perspectives are important. I also think the character development for both the blind man and the narrator is really interesting. Overall, it's one of the most interesting short stories I've read.
I love the symbolism of blindness whenever it comes up. The story annoyed me at first with the narrator being a jerk like you said, but the end is just ugh so good.
