The collected stories of Eudora Welty.

Author: Eudora Welty
Publisher: New York : Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, ©1980.
Edition/Format: Book : Fiction : English : 1st edView all editions and formats
Summary:
This omnibus volume by one of the South's greatest writers includes stories published prior to 1980. Stories are as good in themselves and as influential on the aspirations of others as any since Hemingway's. The breadth of Welty's offering is finally most visible not in the variety of types--farce, satire, horror, lyric, pastoral, mystery--but in the clarity and solidity and absolute honesty of a lifetime's vision.
