Non-Fiction Biography
Eudora Welty’s works are treasures of American literature.
When her first short-story collection was published in 1941,
it heralded the arrival of a genuinely original writer who
over the decades wrote hugely popular novels, novellas,
essays, and a memoir. By the time she died in 2001, Welty
had been given numerous literary awards and was all but
shrouded in admiration.
In this definitive account, Suzanne Marrs restores Welty’s
story to human proportions, tracing Welty’s life from her
roots in Jackson, Mississippi, to her rise to international
stature. Making generous use of Welty’s correspondence,
particularly with contemporaries and admirers including
Katherine Anne Porter and E. M. Forster, Marrs has crafted a
fitting and fascinating tribute to one of the finest writers
of the twentieth century.
