Discuss About Books The Collected Stories

Eudora Welty is the epitome of the Southern Female Writer. She and Flannery O'Connor brought a realism to southern literature that few of their male counterparts ever mastered. Through their writing, readers all over the world captured a glimpse of the poor, the struggling, the different, the proud, the hard-working, the true Southerner that other writers only envisioned in their imaginations. Gone was the verbosity of Faulkner and replaced in its stead the stark reality of what it was to be a



Finished Welty's first collection, A Curtain of Green and Other Stories, published in 1941. Highly recommended. My favorite stories include "Keela, the Outcast Indian Maiden," "A Curtain of Green," "Old Mr. Marblehall" and "Why I Live at the P.O." Of the 17 stories here the only one that doesn't seem to work is "Powerhouse"--perhaps because of all the dialogue rendered in dialect. Everything else has held up remarkably well.Now reading the collection "A Wide Net." Finished the first two tales:

The Collected Stories of Eudora Welty won the 1982 National Book Award. There are forty-two short stories in this lengthy 622 page book. I enjoyed the earlier stories in the book but not many of the later ones. Weltys stories feel quite dated reading some seventy years later. Here are some of the ones I liked. 1. Why I Live at the Post Office. Sister alienates family by making too many assumptions but is able to get the family on her side by telling blatant lies and manipulating others.2. Old Mr

The Collected Stories of Eudora Welty contains all the best of her life's work as a writer. Welty was not temperamentally a novelist, though her short novel The Optimist's Daughter is totally worth reading. The short story was the right form for her. This book, besides containing within it The Golden Apples (see my separate review), holds other masterpieces that will repay many re-readings. Her work gets deeper and deeper as you contemplate it. Here are some stories I particularly hope people

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.

A rich buffet of southern cooking, almost too rich to be read one after another. She's the standard and hard to top.
