One of the most influential writers of the century, her novels & stories blend the storytelling tradition of the South w/ a modernist sensibility attuned to the mysteries & ambiguities of experience. Welty explores the complex abundance of southern, & particularly southern women's, lives w/ an artistry that Salman Rushdie has called impossible to overpraise. The Library of America presents in two authoritative volumes, all her most significant & best-loved works. "Stories, Essays, & Memoir" presents Welty's collected short stories, an astonishing body of work that has made her one of the most respected writers of short fiction. "A Curtain of Green & Other Stories" (1941), her first book, includes many of her most popular stories, including 'A Worn Path', 'Powerhouse', & 'Why I Live at the P.O.' "The Wide Net & Other Stories" (1943), in which historical figures such as Aaron Burr ('First Love') & John James Audubon ('A Still Moment') appear as characters, shows her evolving mastery as a regional chronicler. "The Golden Apples" (1949), her favorite of her books, is a series of interrelated stories about the inhabitants of the fictional town of Morgana, Mississippi. "The Bride of Innisfallen" presents stories set in the South & based on her travels in Europe. Also included are 'Where Is that Voice Coming from?', based on the Medgar Evers shooting, & 'The Demonstrators'. "One Writer's Beginnings" is Welty's sensitive memoir of her Jackson childhood. A selection of essays & occasional pieces rounds out this volume. The companion Library of America volume collects Welty's complete novels. * "That Eudora Welty's work is beyond human power of praising, I don't need to say. Everybody knows it." - William Maxwell * THE LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an award-winning, nonprofit program dedicated to publishing America's best & most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts. Hailed as "the most important book-publishing project in the nation's history" (Newsweek), this acclaimed series is restoring America's literary heritage in "the finest-looking, longest-lasting edition ever made" (New Republic). * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a nominal additional fee & via efficient USPS FIRST CLASS MAIL to all international shipments at our posted rates., Books<
