The seven stories in this volume were written during the ascending
and perhaps most triumphant years of Willa Cather's career, the
period during which she published nine books, including "My
Antonia," " A Lost Lady," and "Death Comes for the Archbishop." For
the most part ironic in tone, these stories are, as Bernice Slote
observes, bound by the geometrics of urban life--streets and
offices, workers and firms, the business world of New York and
Pittsburgh, the cities which by 1929 Willa Cather had known well
for over thirty years." In her introduction, Slote discusses their
biographical elements, connections with earlier and later work, and
the intricate patterns that lie below the lucid, shimmering surface
of Willa Cather's prose.
