O Pioneers!
by Willa Cather
Although I have read other works by Cather, this is the first time that I have read "O Pioneers". This slim novel certainly deserves its place in the canon of American literature. While I find "My Antonia" to be a stronger novel and "Death Comes for the Archbishop" to be Cather's masterpiece, "O Pioneers" has depth and passion galore. I think that many current readers will find Alexandra's support of Frank to be irrational and outright wrong. Many will also cheer at the freedom that Alexandra seems to have until they realize that for all her success, she still finds that she is not complete until she is at the side of a man. Lots and lots to discuss in this one! My son has to read "O Pioneers" over the summer and I look forward to discussing it with him.
