She is really a new author to me, though. That's terrific that you introduce her work to your students. There's something very moving about the midwestern experience. Somehow that experience is underrepresented and overlooked. I've recently begun to read writers like Bess Streeter Aldrich, Wright Morris, and Mildred Walker. They're really very good: Morris is in the class of Willa Cather, the others not, but their books are good. And I'm thrilled to discover Suckow. There was an epiphany at the end of New Hope: it tied everything together. And I will try to attend the meeting next year.Kat at Thornfield Hall Reduxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525125671217787722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25137929.post-84032969528228050422009-07-04T10:15:11.303-07:002009-07-04T10:15:11.303-07:00Hi Mad Housewife,
Great review of Suckow and her ...Hi Mad Housewife,<br /><br />Great review of Suckow and her works. If you or your readers want to get some of her books, check the link on the Ruth Suckow website; there is a book club type service through the State library that lists a number of books. Members of our group have donated quite a few to the Cedar Falls Public Library, so you can also interlibrary loan them.<br /><br />I am a Literature teacher in my "day job" and am always pleased that so many of my students can still relate with the portrayal of small town life in Suckow's stories.<br /><br />We would love to see you at next year's meeting! Keep blogging!Cherie Darganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01537575988683821396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25137929.post-61816704615072801462009-07-04T06:54:31.512-07:002009-07-04T06:54:31.512-07:00I'd be happy to join the association!
