Chasing Bright Medusas: A Life of Willa Cather by Benjamin Taylor

informative inspiring medium-paced

4.0

Like all good biographies about an artist whose work you love, this one makes me want to go back and read Cather's works. Concise and chronological, the book starts when Cather really begins writing in her 40s. Taylor puts her work in the context of her history as well as the cultural & political moment. It's a sparse account but filled with respect and appreciation for both the works and the author.
