Publisher Description

Paul's Case was first published in 1905 in Cather's first collection of short stories, titled The Troll Garden. When republished by McClure's in 1920, it established Cather's career and her fame spread across America.

Paul's Case, similar to The Enchanted Forest featured in her Nine Stories published by Simply, is one of the great writer's stories accessible to most young people in high school and college. It relates to what they feel, think, and want to be. Perhaps just as importantly, it depicts young people upset by their current circumstances, their families, and the drabness they perceive in their own lives. One of her best.

"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..."

" Boring as I'll get out. But it had some very well inspired story placement. "

Overall Performance:
" I loved this! I felt so sorry for poor Paul. This is also a story that helps me understand characterization more. "
— Serena, 11/20/2013
Overall Performance:
" 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. "

" I love tragic aesthetes. "

Overall Performance:
" 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. "

Overall Performance:
" Something I read for Freshman English back at Miami University that has always stuck with me as a great story. Its very short, but its melancholic theme is cool. "

Overall Performance:
" 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. "
— Rebecca, 8/27/2012
Overall Performance:

Overall Performance:
" A dark look into the mind a a very troubled boy. He fulfills his dreams by steeling money and renting a room at a fancy hotel in New York for a few days, until he realizes that his father is coming for him. He takes drastic measures and completely turns the story around. "
