The Professor's House

By Willa Cather

This book was surprisingly a slower read than expected for a Cather book. It took me much longer to get into than I expected. Perhaps the reading circumstances are to blame (I was away from home when I started it). Nevertheless, it was still an enjoyable read, with all the underlying themes and criticisms. It's interesting how she combined two story lines, that of Tom Outland, which she wrote first, and the that of the professor's, which envelopes that of Outland's. [258 pp.]
