Stories, Essays, & Memoir: A Curtain of Green, The Wide Net, The Golden Apples, The Bride of the Innisfallen, Selected Essays, One Writer's Beginnings (Library of America)

In this volume along with its companion, The Library of America presents all of the most significant and best-loved works of Eudora Welty. Of her own work, she wrote: “What I do in writing of any character is to try to enter into the mind, heart, and skin of a human being who is not myself. Whether this happens to be a man or a woman, old or young, with skin black or white, the primary challenge lies in making the jump itself. It is the act of a writer’s imagination that I set most high.”
