Hardback. Etat : Fair. Eudora Welty's created some of the finest short fiction ever written. First published in the 1940s, they introduced a genuinely original voice, and launched a career that over the decades would include novels, novellas, reviews, essays, culminating in a 1984 memoir, One Writer's Beginnings, which remains one of her best-loved works. By the time of her death, Welty was bestowed nearly every literary award it is possible to get-the Pulitzer Prize, National Book Award, six O. Henry Awards, the National Medal of Literature, and the Medal of Freedom. To so many, she was not a writer but an icon.The Welty who emerges in this authoritative and affectionate biography by Suzanne Marrs will surprise some readers. Here is an account not of a sequestered spinster from Jackson, Mississippi, but of an inveterate traveler and a shrewd observer of her times. Marrs was close to Welty during the last two decades of the writer's life and makes effective use of the material to which this accorded her access, including the letters to and from the two great loves of Welty's life. Marrs also quotes generously from Welty's other correspondence, particularly with contemporaries and admirers, including Katherine Anne Porter, E. M. Forster, and Elizabeth Bowen. The result is a complete and involving portrait-of a writer of such classics as Why I Live at the P.O., A Worn Path, and Losing Battles, and of a woman passionately engaged by the world to which she bequeathed such timeless treasures.…
