Willa Cather: The Road is All (USA) | (90 min; 2005; English)

Director: Joel Geyer

Documentary on Willa Cather, one of the greatest American novelists of the twentieth century, she was gifted in conveying an intimate understanding of her characters in relation to their personal and cultural environments. Awarded the Pulitzer Prize for One of Ours (1922), a novel set during World War I, critics have increasingly identified Cather as a canonical American writer, the peer of authors like Hemingway, Faulkner and Wharton.
