Or did she actually have a robust creative partnership with another woman, Edith Lewis, which was downplayed at the time and for decades afterward? In this episode, Jacke talks to Melissa J. Homestead about her book, The Only Wonderful Things: The Creative Partnership of Willa Cather &amp; Edith Lewis, which sheds new light on the life and works of a great twentieth century novelist.Additional listening suggestions: 316 Willa Cather (with Lauren Marino) 317 My Antonía by Willa Cather 308 New Westerns (with Anna North) Help support the show at patreon.com/literature or historyofliterature.com/donate.
