To mark the centennial of Eudora Welty's birth, Pearl Amelia McHaney has collected more than sixty pieces by Welty (1909-2001) that are largely unknown and have not been reprinted since their first appearances in magazines, journals, newsletters, and newspapers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The gathering includes one of Welty's earliest stories, \"Acrobats in the Park\"; a self-analysis of her art printed in the \u003cem\u003eTwenty Photographs\u003c\/em\u003e portfolio; a recipe for Aunt Beck's Chicken Pie served up in the novel \u003cem\u003eLosing Battles\u003c\/em\u003e; and a parody of Edmund Wilson's scurrilous \u003cem\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/em\u003e review of one of William Faulkner's late novels. These occasional essays, tributes, stories, and comments will delight readers and reveal more of the genius of a favorite author deeply engaged with her people and their customs.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In these pieces Welty put pen to paper for just causes: electing honorable officials, selling war bonds, and promoting reading and the arts. Her sophistication and insight resonate in tributes to Isak Dinesen, Flannery O'Connor, and Walker Percy; in reviews of sculpture, painting, dance, and photography; and in her candid remarks about her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, \u003cem\u003eThe Optimist's Daughter\u003c\/em\u003e. Her sly humor emerges in \"Women!! Make Turban in Own Home!,\" a delightful parody of projects suggested in \u003cem\u003ePopular Mechanics\u003c\/em\u003e. Written between the 1930s and the 1990s, these fictions, essays, commemorations, reviews, and salutes reveal the sparkling imagination of a celebrated writer who continues her hold on a wide audience through these newfound pleasures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEudora Welty (Author) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eEudora Welty \u003c\/b\u003eis author of many novels and story collections, including \u003ci\u003eThe Optimist's Daughter\u003c\/i\u003e (winner of the Pulitzer Prize), \u003ci\u003eLosing Battles\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Ponder Heart\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Robber Bridegroom\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Curtain of Green and Other Stories\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as three collections of her photographic work--\u003ci\u003ePhotographs\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCountry Churchyards\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eOne Time, One Place: Mississippi in the Depression\u003c\/i\u003e, all published by University Press of Mississippi. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePearl Amelia McHaney (Editor) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePearl Amelia McHaney \u003c\/b\u003eis Kenneth M.
