Why does Paul feel like he just doesn’t fit in with this world? What will “not fitting in” do to him?  Willa Cather, today on The Classic Tales Podcast. 

Welcome to this Vintage Episode of The Classic Tales Podcast. Thank you for listening. 

A Vintage Episode is released every Tuesday. If you have found value in the show, please help us to help more people like you by going to http://classictalesaudiobooks.com, and becoming a supporter. New stories are coming your way on Friday. 

Keep an ear open for our Kickstarter for The Golden Triangle – the seventh novel in the Arsène Lupin series. Two boxed sets are now available. We’ll let you know when we’re ready to kick off. 

In today’s story, Paul just doesn’t fit in. Cather layers on the different woes that Paul has to deal with. He uses art as an escape from reality. He also has had issues with his home life, etc. The author gently layers on the struggles of a character so effectively. By the end, we fully understand his motivations, which as it turns out, is heartbreaking. 

And now, Paul’s Case, by Willa Cather.
