For example, I feel pretty comfortable talking about Willa Cather. Why? Because I had a high school teacher who forced us to read two of her books.
One of Ours was a great book. I'm surprised they still encourage people to read her. We read Sinclair Lewis but not Willa Cather. Was One of Ours ever made into a movie?
