Discuss Regarding Books The Collected Stories

Having cut my literary teeth on Flannery O'Connor, I pshawed "Miss Eudora" whenever she entered the conversation regarding short story writers, assuming (without having actually read her, mind you) that she wrote polite little stories of Southern manners that didn't belong on the same shelf with Flannery. I freely admit now that attitude belonged to an ignoramus of embarrassingly shallow depths. It took just one story, "The Petrified Man," to straighten me out. In fact, her entire first

I have been told, both in approval and in accusation, that I seem to love all my characters. What I do in writing of any character is to try to enter into the mind, heart, and skin of a human being who is not myself. Whether this happens to be a man or a woman, old or young, with skin black or white, the primary challenge lies in making the jump itself. It is the act of a writers imagination that I set most high.-Eudora Welty This collection covers 25 years (the entirety) of Eudora Welty's short

In some of her stories, Weltys adeptness at getting you into a characters frame of mind, while also giving you backstory through dialogue, is spellbinding. Papa-Daddy woke up with this horrible yell and right there without moving an inch he tried to turn Uncle Rondo against me. I heard every word he said. Oh, he told Uncle Rondo I didnt learn to read till I was eight years old and he didnt see how in the world I ever got the mail put up at the P.O., much less read it all, and he said if Uncle

Lots of people look down on Eudora Welty because they think she writes "cute" stories. Her most widely anthologized stories, like "Why I Live at the P.O." are funny, definitely, but the overall effect of her work is a sort of screwball, Southern Gothic weirdness that verges into all sorts of untraditional territory - mystery, horror, quasi-religious allegory. If you like Flannery O'Connor, I'd make the case that you'll like Eudora Welty as much, if not more.

I was introduced to this book by a smooth-talking, cool, British professor, who mentioned it was his favorite . . . collection of short stories? Book? Its difficult to remember now. That was years ago. And it wasnt the first time I had heard of the collection. I think in college I even recorded a friend reading Why I live at the P.O. in a funny voice for a theater class. Or maybe just selections from the story. So, anyway, I was on a short-story-reading kick, and after loving Cathers and

What can I say of Miss Welty that has not already been said? Just read the work. It will make you more a human.

Some of the best short stories Ive ever read.
