As she grew older Willa Cather became ever more private, complaining of favor-seekers and other parasites of fame. But in her long career she granted thirty-four interviews, gave six public speeches, and published ten letters, discussing literature and the artistic life and illuminating her own life and writing. These fugitive pieces, here gathered for the first time, reveal the author's early thirst for fame and the reasons for her later renunciation of it.
Included are Cather's radio speech accepting the 1923 Pulitzer Prize for fiction (awarded for One of Ours), accounts of her other speeches, interviews conducted by Louise Bogan and Stephen Vincent Benét, and six little-known portraits of Cather.

Willa Cather in Person: Interviews, Speeches, and Letters
This older book reprises information about Willa Cather. Interviews are articles written by newspaper and magazine writers made up most of this text. Some contained errors, either noted or not noted, in the short introduction to each article. Some discrepancies were attributed to Cather, others were mistakes by the writer of the article. Sorting error from fact was annoying at times. I also wonder if the articles were not more editorial than interview. A biography would provide better, more accurate information.
The letters section, perhaps the most interesting, was very short. At the time, permission to publish her letters was not available. Now, Cather's published letters (The Selected Letters of Willa Cather) would be a better resource for letters.
