This review is from: More Conversations with Eudora Welty (Literary Conversations Series) (Paperback)

Eudora Welty is I believe the only author to be honored with a second volume in the "Conversations with" series published by Univerisity of Mississippi - but that has less to do with state pride on their queen of letters than the fact that Welty thoroughly deserves a second volume, not only because of her importance as a writer but because of her keen insights on writing, literature, and life. Ever gracious, she always went out of her way for an interviewer, never treating journalists as if they were pests that had to be dealt with on occasion like some writers. I confess I enjoy reading about Miss Welty almost as much as I do reading her own works, it's so rare to find a major author with such humanity, good humor, and grace. Aspiring authors would do well not just to study her work but to study the woman, Miss Welty was a role model on every level.
