Just finished this amazing story “Death Comes for the Archbishop.” The language is spellbinding, the Arizona setting is portrayed with an amazing beauty and the even the harshest events are told as if whispered in an Abby.

One thing I am interested in hearing thoughts on is the structure of the book. It feels closer to the Canterbury Tales or Don Quixote in its episodic nature than a more modern novel?

Also, this is the first Cather book I have read, and I believe this is considered Cather’s masterpiece, but would certainly like to hear of anyone thinks other books of hers are in the running.
