Book excerpt: Written from the mouth of the Willa Cather Memorial Prairie, THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT BUT GOLD wanders the grassland setting of Cather's imagination and Hagler's own upbringing. Following her decision to sever ties with her mother, Hagler drives toward her childhood home, detouring in the landscape of Cather's Nebraska fiction. These essays - composed of travel narrative, ghost theory, and bits of literary criticism found in gift shops and estate sales - dig into dispossession, unearthing the boundaries of forgiveness, the impact of inherited narratives, and the ways in which the living also haunt.
