	Eudora Welty
		Eudora Welty ends her brief autobiography, One Writer's Beginnings (1984), with a three-sentence paragraph that neatly summarizes the previous one hundred pages: "As you have seen, I am a writer who came of a sheltered life.
		Welty was a life-long resident of Jackson, Mississippi, daughter of an insurance executive father from Ohio and a mother from West Virginia who read avidly and passionately, who once raced back into a house smothered in flames to save a set of Dickens.
		Welty's formal career as a photographer never really materialized, though two exhibitions of her photographs were mounted in New York, and five selections from her photographs have been published to date, most notably: One Time, One Place (1978) and Photographs (1989).

	Eudora Welty (b. 1909)
		As with most of the southern writers, Welty's humor, her use of the grotesque, and her dialogue are often initial difficulties for students, who tend to take her too literally and thus miss the fun she's having.

		Welty clearly owes something to fellow Mississippian William Faulkner, and to the oral tradition of the South.

		Welty's friend and fellow southern fiction writer Elizabeth Spencer supplies a beautiful introduction, in which she connects Welty's interests and sensibilities to what she observed and absorbed as she explored the cemeteries of rural Mississippi.

		Welty also set fiction in the Mississippi Delta — the novel Delta Wedding (1946) and the story “Powerhouse” — and a novel in the northeast Mississippi hills: her best-selling Losing Battles (1970).
		ALthough Welty was not a crusader in the cause of civil rights during the 1960s (and took a lot of heat from critics because she seemed to be staying quiet during the early years of the movement), she wrote very powerful indictments of racism in two stories of that period.
		Welty’s autobiography, One Writer’s Beginnings (1983) is an equally moving portrait of her own family during the early years when she was trying to become a writer.

		Millar was married, but he and Welty were longtime friends and possible lovers, and his letters to Welty are a clue to her sunny outlook and personality.

		Welty at the time of Waldron's completed book was eighty-nine and unable to read for long spells.
