Nellibobs’ Friday Night no. 15 ‘Rabbits’
Mr Nellist shares his thoughts on the work of Willa Cather (1873 - 1947), an American author and Pulitzer Prize winner, known for her depictions of frontier life on the Great Plains (between the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi River) in novels such as O Pioneers! (1913) and My Ántonia (1918).
Plus, inevitably, a short digression on the English and Flemish rabbit.
Hope you like it - and decide to read some Willa Cather! And if you already have, do please post a reply and tell us what you think. Who knows, a conversation may result...
