Description
Summary:Written back and forth in dialogue between Rosemarie Bodenheimer and Philip Davis, this innovative book explores the many ways that Willa Cather's radical originality is quietly manifest, without fanfare or explanation. Nearing middle age when she began her life as a novelist, Willa Cather thought of lives as long arcs of change, in which success and failure are equally fraught, and one might shift quickly into the feeling of the other. Working within her own terms, 'In Conversation with Willa Cather' puts the odd shapes and silences of her books in conversation with her letters, interviews, and other writings about the art of fiction.
