In Defense of Welty’s Weirdness
I found (Fiction professor) Michael Griffith in my mailbox today. His piece Beautiful, Desirable, and Dead: Is Eudora Welty Weirder Than You Think? is in the latest issue of the Oxford American. It’s not online, so you’ll have to go find a copy. Griffith’s punchy reading picks away Welty’s reputation as the “hydrangea-blue” Southern Lady of fiction to locate the acerbic punk of her early and less-anthologized stories.
