So  I have chosen a short story " on the Gull's Road" by Willa Cather. I chose this story because  it will be interesting for me to understand and analyze something new. 
So I have some Things You Probably Didn't Know About Willa Cather.

• Although she is usually thought of as a Nebraskan, Cather was actually a Virginian by birth. Her family didn't move to Nebraska until she was nine. 

• ather's given name was Wilella, but her family always called her "Willa" or, probably even more often, "Willie." 

• While a student at the University of Nebraska in the early 1890s, she wrote theater and music reviews for the Nebraska State Journal newspaper that were often so unrelenting in their critique that she developed a reputation among the traveling performers as a real "meat ax" critic.

• Raised as a Baptist, Cather later became Episcopalian, but had two of her greatest successes with books so steeped in Catholicism that readers thought she was a Catholic. 

• Her first book, in 1903, was neither a novel nor a collection of short stories but a volume of poetry called April Twilights published with a high-end vanity press, and she continued to write poetry for most of her life.

• Cather was one of the country's most successful woman journalists before she was a novelist. Her first job out of college was as editor of a magazine called The Home Monthly, in Pittsburgh.

• Cather is now widely understood as a lesbian. She lived for 38 years in domestic partnership with Edith Lewis, a professional editor, in New York City. Lewis's editorial skills probably contributed to Cather's elegant prose style, as the two of them went over her novels together before publication.

• Cather's most widely-read and widely-admired novel, My Ántonia, was nominated for the first-ever Pulitzer Prize but didn't get it.

• Although Cather often drew on her own life in writing her novels, she always--or almost always--disguised her autobiographical presence. She didn't want to write about herself in a direct or obvious way.
