100 Years of Stories and Pics!

April 13, 1909
A woman so humble, she kept her Pulitzer in the coat closet!
Was it Ricky Bragg who said his was on a permanent traveling exhibition through the families? ;D
How will you celebrate today?
Leave a comment declaring your all time favorite Welty story or pic.

I love her! I just heard her read

A Delta Wedding is one of my favorites, along with The Optimist's Daughter. Her ability to capture time and place is unmatched.

The time is nearing, Mary! ;)

I watched that too, Writer's Porch! It was on PBS and she was so lovely! Maybe, you will join us for the Southern Reading Challenge this summer?!? :)

I love The Optimist's Daughter, Deborah! I would have to whack that new wife w/ the bread board!

Oh, the excitement is growing, Diane! :D
