Eudora Welty: Mississippi Myth

January 27, 2017
Hosted by Nancy Copp in her legendary Germantown home

She described writing fiction as “a personal act of vision.”  Eudora Welty (1900-2001) was widely popular as a writer and photographer from her lifelong home in Jackson, MS.  Welty was at literary home seemingly only in experimentation, her vast skill-set ranging from comedy to tragedy, realistic to surreal, fiction to biography, fairy tale to history – always in the South.  Her canon includes the short stories in A Curtain of GreenThe Wide Net, and The Golden Apples, and the novels The Ponder Heart and Pulitzer Prize-winning The Optimist’s Daughter.
