A fantastic collection! Some of these are very grim, and others are hysterically funny. Eudora Welty spent her entire lifetime in Jackson, Mississippi, and she faithfully chronicled the world she knew. Her writing spanned five decades, and she well deserves her spot as one of the premier American writers of the twentieth century.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
While I was in New Orleans it occurred to me via Paul Theroux's musing on Southern literature in Deep South that I haven't really explored the work of Eudora Welty. Since most of her stories take place in Mississippi and New Orleans I decided to read The Collected Stories Of Eudora Welty (1982). The book contains the short story collections A Curtain of Green, The Wide Net, The Golden Apples, and The Bride of the Innisfallen, as well as previously uncollected ones. These forty-one stories show
I started the second book and Weltys short stories are just not my thing at this point in my life. Her early works at least. Planning to take some time off and visit her later works to see if its the style or me. I just couldnt find a way to engage with any of the characters. I felt it took a long time for the stories to get to the conflict. It was all just word soup to me; after reading 6 pages, I would stop and realize I didnt recall anything that had happened.
Some of the best short stories Ive ever read.
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
Maybe I am not smart/motivated enough to find the point in these stories, but I felt like I was just getting to the climax when.Yeah, exactly like that last sentence. There were certainly some interesting, realistic characters and dialogue, but it was like listening in on other people's conversations at the salon and having your haircut finished before you get to the good part. Sigh.
