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

Makes for delightful teaching. Students really respond well to the stories, showing a lot of compassion and generosity to characters. In 41 Welty was erroneously tagged as a "grotesque" by Katharine Ann Porter, and that reputation is hard to avoid in the early, famous stories like "Petrified Man" and "Why I Live at the PO." They're funny tour-de-forces, innovative in voice and form. My own preference is for the later stuff; "The Bride of the Innisfallen" is one of those long, seemingly plotless

A wonderful, awe-inspiring story collection that spans Welty's career. Reading it with friends, as I've done here, has added to my enjoyment of the stories themselves and to my knowledge of Welty and understanding of the influences behind her writing.As to what are my favorite? Hmmm. Of course there is "Why I Live at the P.O.." Then there is the whole book "The Golden Apple". I recall scenes from "The Death of a Traveling Salesman". There are too many. And I know I will be dipping into this book

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:

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

The richness of such talent resists a summing up... Maureen Howard might be a likely candidate for a gold medal in stating the patently obvious for her blurb on the back of this collection. After all there are forty one stories here, written over a time span of around thirty years: naturally they defy summing up, duh. But I'm being uncharitable towards Ms Howard: any quote on the back of a book takes the quotee's words out of context. And in fact I'm twisting what she says, as she never claims

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.
