When author and columnist Rebecca Traister was asked by Ezra Klein during his "New York Times" podcast on March 19, 2021 if there was a book she rereads for the “sheer beauty of the prose” Traister was emphatic:  ““For the beauty of the writing, I mean, I would say that my go-to is actually "My Antonia" by Willa Cather, which is a book I first read in high school and found slightly boring but beautiful, and then read again in my 20s and was just totally enraptured by and then have gone back to again and again and again as a beautiful piece of writing.”
