| | Eudora Welty (b. 1909) |
 | | Welty is also very concerned with resonances of classical mythology, legend, and folk tale, and with the intersection of history and romance. | | | Welty's books often work the way folk or fairy tales do; students aren't used to this. | | | I like to begin by looking at what makes Welty seem simple (her lovely sentences, her homey metaphors, her "impulse to praise"). |

| | Salon People Happy birthday, Miss Welty |
| | Waldron is endlessly fascinated by the nature of Welty's relationship with her "adored" friend John Robinson, to whom Welty dedicated the novel "Delta Wedding" and who was perhaps the only man with whom she may have had a romantic attachment, though he is known to have been homosexual. | | | It's not that Welty has had nothing to say about her life -- she has, in fact, said plenty, submitting graciously to countless interviews over the years and publishing her own bestselling memoir of her early life, "One Writer's Beginnings," in 1984. | | | It's not just prurient interest that drives curiosity about Eudora Welty (though in this age of confession prurience is hard to escape). |

| | Bookreporter.com - Author Profile: Eudora Welty |
| | Welty was so discouraged when they returned her story, "Petrified Man," which other journals had also rejected, that she tore up her only copy of it. | | | Welty spent much of her childhood devouring books which included myths and nursery rhymes, the Brothers Grimm fairy tales, and works by Edward Lear, Dickens, Scott, Robert Louis Stevenson, Mark Twain, and others. | | | Whether she takes the point of view of a young woman dealing with the death of her father (THE OPTIMIST'S DAUGHTER), or an elderly woman telling the story of her life to a traveling salesman (THE PONDER HEART), Welty's characters speak in unique voices, true to their hearts and souls. |

| | Despite violence in her work, Welty's wit is essentially humane and affirmative, as, for example, in her frequently anthologized story "Why I Work at the P.O.," in which a stubborn and independent daughter moves out of her house to live in a tiny post office. | | | Welty modeled her nuanced work on Porter, but the younger woman is more interested in the comic and grotesque. | | | Welty has also written novels such as Delta Wedding (1946), which is focused on a plantation family in modern times, and The Optimist's Daughter (1972). |
