Young And The Bright Medusa, is a collection of short stories, written by Willa Cather between 1905 and 1920 in a number of magazines. The contrast and tension between artists, or anyone who in some way aspired to the "art life," and the rest of society, was the central issue. Ms. Cather was undoubtedly a talented author, and practically every one of her stories contains a gem-like passage. The majority of the stories in this book are set in New York City and Boston, and they are mainly about artists - musicians, authors, and sculptors. The book is a collection of short stories by Cather that explores a common theme-the struggles of the artistic temperament in a commercial world-through utilizing opera divas, daydreaming teenagers, and teary-eyed spinsters. To read this unique work by Ms Cather, readers should go though the Young and The Bright Medusa!
