I haven't done a deep dive into her work, so I'm especially excited to participate in the Willa Cather Short Story Project, a reading challenge to read all of Cather's short stories, one a month.
Most excitingly, all the stories are available for free online, so there's basically no impediment for my participation.
You can find the entire schedule here. I will put the 2021 reading plan here so I can track my reading and, hopefully, my reflections. Let me know if you're going to participate so we can gush together!
2021 Cather Stories
- January 2021 “Lou, the Prophet”
- February 2021 “Peter”
- March 2021 “A Tale of the White Pyramid”
- April 2021 “The Son of the Celestial”
- May 2021 “The Elopement of Allen Poole”
- June 2021 “The Clemency of the Court”
- July 2021 “The Fear that Walks by Noonday”
- August 2021 “On the Divide”
- September 2021 “A Night at Greenway Court”
- October 2021 “The Princess Baladina—Her Adventure”
- November 2021 “Tommy, the Unsentimental”
- December 2021 “The Count of Crow’s Nest” (Parts I and II)
This sounds like a worthwhile challenge, but 3-1/2 years to complete is way beyond my commitment level! I stink at the one-year ones. Good luck! It does seem do-able and fun!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm going to commit to 12 stories for this year and hope the success propels me thru into next year!
