The Professor’s House (1925). How could a title be duller? But A. S. Byatt called it Cather’s “masterpiece,” saying it was “perfectly constructed, peculiarly moving, and completely original.” In a New Yorker article, Joan Acocella called it “Cather’s most profound book” and added that it “has never received the praise it deserves, partly, I think, because it tells such a terrifying story.”
