From the Inside Flap:
The jacket of the first edition of Obscure Destinies announced "Three New Stories of the West", heralding Willa Cather's return to what many thought of as "her" territory -- the Great Plains. These three stories, "Neighbour Rosicky", "Old Mrs. Harris", and "Two Friends", reflected her return to the well of memory that had inspired the books that made her reputation.
About the Author:
The Willa Cather Scholarly Edition presents for the first time the three stories in their historical and biographical context, with an interpretive historical essay and detailed explanatory notes. The textual essay and apparatus establish the definitive text and trace Cather's changes through newly discovered prepublication versions.
Tony and Obie award-winner Marian Seldes fell in love with Lucy Gayheart when she was a girl and has steeped herself in Cather's writing. I was natural, then, for her to construct this reading of Cather's work in the writer's own voice, weaving bits of biography among the selections. Ms.Seldes is also the author of Bright Lights: A Theatre Life and Time Together, a novel.
