One Hundred Best American Novels

[alice malice]

I guess it depends on why one elects to read Cather. The trilogy is
still there, in book stores, on Midwestern and Mountain State
bookshelves, where, foreigner tourists and domestic ones take her up
with Cowboy and Indian fictions and poetry, Pioneer, and Western
stuff,   though I suspect the short stories  would provide quite
enough of her themes and style for a reader looking to get her down
with a spoonful of honey.  That is, taken in her context, before the
Great Depression, she pens a fine American short tale.
