Publisher Description

Paul's Case was first published in 1905 in Willa Cather's first story collection, The Troll Garden, which began her literary career. When the story was printed in McClure's magazine in May of the same year, it brought Cather to national attention. In 1920 the story was reprinted by Alfred Knopf in Youth and the Bright Medusa. Paul's Case examines the dangers of art and the struggles of youthful artists in a commercial world.

"This is the first Cather work I ever read, I believe. The story is set in Pittsburgh's Oakland section, a part of town with which I am pretty familiar. Years after I first read "Paul's Case," I reread it once, maybe twice. To me, Cather presents a wonderful character study. Poor Paul..."

    " Heartbreaking story about poverty and one person's inability to cope with it. So vivid. It has stayed with me for over 30 years. It is a tragic story. But when Willa Cather endeavors to tell you something...she will give you the message in an unforgettable way. "

    " An inside look of a teenager's mind who is completely dissatisfied with his life. I think this is a perfect story showing how the mind of a depressed person works. Anyone who has ever asked the questions "Why did he do it? He had so much ahead of him?" should read this story. "

    " 2.5 -- I'm honestly not sure how many stars to give this. I like Cather's storytelling. I unfortunately stumbled across a spoiler of this before I managed to read the ending, so that made me proceed abnormally. "
