The Sculptor's Funeral is a short story written by Willa Cather. The story is set in the late 19th century and revolves around the death of a famous sculptor named Harvey Merrick. The story begins with the arrival of Merrick's body in his hometown, where he had left many years ago to pursue his art. His body is met with mixed reactions from the townspeople, some of whom are proud of his achievements while others are resentful of his success and the way he left the town.The story is told from the perspective of a young newspaper reporter named Willa who is sent to cover the funeral. Willa is struck by the contrast between the solemnity of the funeral and the gossip and backbiting that goes on behind the scenes. She observes the tensions between Merrick's family, who are proud of his accomplishments, and the townspeople, who are jealous of his success.As the funeral progresses, it becomes clear that Merrick's legacy is more complicated than anyone had anticipated. His success had come at a cost, and he had left behind a trail of broken relationships and disappointments. The story ends with Willa reflecting on the fleeting nature of fame and the importance of living a life that is true to oneself.The Sculptor's Funeral is a powerful meditation on the nature of success, fame, and the human condition. It is a poignant reminder that even the most accomplished among us are flawed and that true success is measured not by external accomplishments but by the impact we have on the people around us.THIS 32 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Youth and the Bright Medusa, by Willa Cather.

Frank Donnelly
4.0 out of 5 stars A Very Good Morality Tale, Short Story by Willa Cather
Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2022
Willa Cather is one of my favorite authors. This short story is a very good example of her writing, it is a short story with a lesson. My favorite short story by Willa Cather remains “Paul’s Case”, but that is a tragic story.

This story, “The Sculptor’s Funeral” is very good. Willa Cather wrote three novels that are known as The Prairie Trilogy. This story fits conceptually somewhere within the framework of those three fine novels. In the event that it matters, my favorite of those three is “My Antonia”. They are all standalone novels. And this story does not draw directly from those novels. But this story reminds me of those novels. Thank You…
