Eudora Welty

Eudora Welty

Vintage, 1990

deliciously southern
wonderfully, really southern. Oh, how I love the classic southern writers. Rereading Eudora makes me realize the difference between mediocre and great writing, she doing the latter (and obviously I doing the former, ha ha).

To the Lighthouse

Virginia Woolf, Eudora Welty (Introduction)

Harvest Books, 1989

An insightful, sensitive reading.
The idea of Virginia Woolf's fiction being read aloud effectively has struck me as an impossibility. The very interiority of Woolf's style seemed to suggest that readers hear the narrative voice within themselves. This reading proves me dead wrong. Virginia ...

The Golden Apples

Eudora Welty

Harvest Books, 1956

Beautiful, Subtle, Resonating Stories
"The Golden Apples" is one of the five best short story collections I've read. Welty's description of character, and its transformation throughout life (it's almost like an episodic novel) is subtle, humorous, and moving. Her style is poetic yet lucid, perfect for ...

The Collected Stories of Eudora Welty

Eudora Welty

Harvest Books, 1982

Don't Neglect Eudora Welty
If you think, after reading one of Eudora Welty's short stories, that you have a pretty good idea of what that story is about, I would urge you to read it at least a second time before committing to your opinion about it. After reading each of the first three stories I ...

On Writing (Modern Library)

Eudora Welty

Modern Library, 2002

Not for Writers Only
It is unfortunate that most readers who make their way to this page will be writers for this collection of Eudora Welty's essays on the craft of writing is not just for writers. Readers, too, will find wisdom and insight here. Wisdom to apply to their own lives. ...

Eudora Welty : Stories, Essays & Memoir (Library of America, 102)

Eudora Welty

Library of America, 1998

Creations of a unique voice.
"Listening," "Learning to See" and "Finding a Voice," Eudora Welty entitled the three chapters of her autobiography "One Writer's Beginnings," the concluding entry in this collection, one of the two Library of America compilations dedicated to her work. And while ...

Eudora Welty : Complete Novels: The Robber Bridegroom, Delta Wedding, The Ponder Heart, Losing Battles, The ...

Eudora Welty

Library of America, 1998

Greatest living southern writer
I began my acquaintance with Eudora Welty's works in college with One Writer's Beginnings and fell in love with the lyrics of her writing. I moved on to her short stories where I believe Ms. Welty surely shines brightest, but her novels are almost as wonderful. Very ...

Essential Welty CD: Why I Live at the P.O., A Memory, Powerhouse and Petrified Man

Caedmon, 2006

Truly An Amazing, Spectacular Find!!!
I have loved, adored and admired Miss Eudora Welty's magnificent writing since I read "Why I Live at the P. O." in high school. Stella-Rondo and Sister's fights just tickled my funny bone to the max, especially because I have two sisters and we were always fighting ...

One Writer's Beginnings (The William E. Massey Sr. Lectures in the History of American Civilization)

Eudora Welty

Harvard University Press, 1998

Glimpses Into a Unique Writer's Mind.
"Listening," "Learning to See" and "Finding a Voice," Eudora Welty entitled the three chapters of her autobiography "One Writer's Beginnings." And while these may be steps that most writers will undergo at some point, Welty's compact memoir is notable both because it ...

The Ponder Heart

Eudora Welty

Harvest Books, 1967

Keen observations and exquisite, humorous Southern writing.
"The South impresses its image on the Southern writer from the moment he is able to distinguish one sound from another," Flannery O'Connor wrote in her 1963 essay "The Catholic Novelist in the Protestant South," and Eudora Welty expressed a similar sentiment roughly 20 ...

The Robber Bridegroom

Eudora Welty

Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1978

Astonishing
This lovely novella introduced Eudora Welty to the world. Now it can introduce you to Eudora Welty. A raucous, genre-bending mixture of historical fiction, romance novel, and tall tale -- all shot through with the compassion and psychological subtlety for which Welty ...

Thirteen Stories

Eudora Welty

Harvest Books, 1965

Here, Thirteen Is Lucky
I know that Welty has several editions out of her stories. I know that these stories have been anthologized a lot ("A Worn Path," "A Wide Net," and "The Hitch-Hikers"). So it doesn't matter to me what edition of her stories that you buy, as long as you read them. ...

Country Churchyards

Eudora Welty

University Press of Mississippi, 2000

More photographs from a writer's eye
Those who cherish Eudora Welty's earlier collection of photographs (_One Time, One Place_) need no urging from me to sample this new jewel box of images from a Mississippi past. Like the earlier collection, these black-and-white photographs document the rural South of ...

A Curtain of Green: and Other Stories

Eudora Welty

Harvest Books, 1979

Review
This was the first Eudora Welty book I've read. Because this is my freshman year in college, I'm wondering why it took me so long. Like her senior, Southern cohort Faulkner, Welty concentrates her gentle touch on characters in and around Mississippi. Every story is ...

Delta Wedding (A Harvest/Hbj Book)

Eudora Welty

Harvest Books, 1979

Alienation in a large family
When you see the title "Delta Wedding," please don't assume that Eudora Welty's novel is either a gaudy supermarket romance or a pollyanna tribute to nuptial celebration and Southern domesticity. It is about the events leading up to a wedding, and of course there is ...
