| Résumé : |
"A collection of fiction stories by Eudora Welty that portray life in the southern Mississippi area." "In a career spanning five decades, Eudora Welty has chronicled her Mississippi with a depth and intensity matched only by William Faulkner. Here for the first time in one volume, is all of her longer fiction. The 'Robber Bridegroom, ' legendary figures from Mississippi's past mingle with Welty's own imaginings in an exuberant unreality set along the Natchez Trace. The richly textured 'Delta Wedding' vividly portrays the complexities of family relationships set against the backdrop of rural Mississippi in the 1920s. In 'The Ponder Heart' Edna Earle Ponder's unrestrained and delightfully absurd monologue shows Welty's humor at its idiomatic best. The monumental 'Losing Battles, ' composed over fifteen years, brings Welty's imaginative gifts to the largest canvas of her career, rendering a Depression-era family reunion with mythic scope and ebullient comic vigor. 'The Optimist's Daughter, ' a taut and moving story of a woman coming to terms with her father's death, won the Pulitzer Prize for Literature in 1972 ..." "One of the most original, subtle and magical of American writers. Her prose is incandescent and her vision supremely humane." -- Joyce Carol Oates |
