"Paul's Case" is a short story by Willa Cather. It was first published in McClure's Magazine in 1905.
- Paul, a suspended high school student in Pittsburgh, is frustrated with his middle-class life and the people around him not understanding his love of beautiful things, and he runs away to New York City.
- The term "Paul's case" is the way teachers and his father refer to Paul concerning his lack of interest in school. It has been suggested that it enables Cather to "[impersonate] the voice of medical authority." (resource: wikipedia)
