A.S. Byatt on Willa Cather

This past weekend, The Guardian online published a long essay by A.S. Byatt on the career of Willa Cather, a relatively unsung American modernist author ("She was a modernist when Dos Passos, Hemingway and Fitzgerald were boys...") best known in the U.S. for her book about Bohemian immigrants, "My Antonia." Byatt's review is worth checking out: Byatt manages to look at Cather's work both as a critic and as a writer, providing insights into how Cather approached her craft.
