Eudora Welty: A Woman of Southern Charm & Dark Solitude

It is the South that Eudora Welty longs for in her writing. I am not a Southern, not accustomed to the effusive hospitality and slower pace of things. So this past summer, I marched into Eudora's house, hoping to gain a new perspective into her Jackson, Mississippi life. As an outsider, I didn't know what to expect, but I did know that I admired, from her simple story "A Worn Path" to her Pulitzer Prize winning novel The Optimist's Daughter.
