Eudora Welty web listings are currently being constructed but none were
available as of Sept. 1st. 1997.
In the meantime, here's a story for you:
"On the occasion of a Ladies Auxilliary luncheon in Eudora Welty's
home town of Jackson, Mississippi, she was invited to read one of her stories.
But between the lunch itself, the minutes of the last luncheon, and whatever
else, they were running short on time. So the woman presiding turned to
the author and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Eudora. We aren't going to have
time for you to read your story. Why don't you just tell it to us in your
own words?"
