“He knew that this was an unbecoming and ungrateful state of mind, and he reproached himself for it. But he could not help wondering why it was that life, even when it gave so much, after all gave so little. What was it that he expected and missed? Why was he, more than he was anything else, disappointed?” Though born in Virginia, Willa Cather became inextricably linked with Nebraska where she spent her childhood and college years. Her finest novels, "O Pioneers!" and "My Antonia" are set there. 1915's "The Song of the Lark" is sometimes grouped with those books as the Prairie Trilogy, even though most of it takes place in Colorado and New York. Like her other great books, it's beautifully written, nuanced, and timeless. Even though she won a Pulitzer, I don't think she's ever quite gotten her due.
