Eudora Welty

Eudora Welty (1909-2001) was the author of novels, short stories, memoirs, and essays, including such celebrated works as The Optimist's Daughter, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1973. In 1998 she became the first living writer to have her works published in the Library of America series.

Samenvatting

The classic New York Times bestseller: “Beguiling as autobiography and . . . profound and priceless as guidance for anyone who aspires to write serious fiction.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review

An updated edition with a new introduction by Natasha Trethewey

Born in 1909 in Jackson, Mississippi, Eudora Welty shares details in this memoir of her upbringing that show us how her family and her surroundings contributed to the shaping of her personality and her writing. Everyday sights, sounds, and objects resonate with the emotions of recollection: the striking clocks, the Victrola, her orphaned father’s coverless little book saved since boyhood, the tall mountains of the West Virginia back country that became a metaphor for her mother’s sturdy independence, Eudora’s earliest box camera that suspended a moment forever and taught her that every feeling awaits a gesture.

In her vivid descriptions of growing up in the South—of the interplay between black and white, town and countryside, dedicated schoolteachers and the children they taught—she recreates the vanished world of her youth with the same subtlety and insight that mark her fiction, capturing “the mysterious transfiguring gift by which dream, memory, and experience become art” (Los Angeles Times Book Review).

This unique distillation of a writer’s beginnings offers a rare glimpse into the childhood that made Eudora Welty the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award–winning writer she would become.

“It is all wonderful . . . The parts of the book that are about her family . . . are by turns hilarious and affecting.” —The New Yorker
