Eudora

A companion book to the acclaimed documentary By Amy Bryant Thaxton, Anthony Thaxton, and Robert St. John.

Renowned short story writer Eudora Welty is explored through intimate andcharming interviews, both with Eudora herself and with family and friends. Seenthrough the backdrop of Jackson, Mississippi, Eudora is a revealing portrait ofadventure, daring, humor and love as we meet a writer we only thought we knew.

“The two Eudoras—this beautiful book and its companion film—transport us into Welty’s home and life in the most intimate way. They capture how it felt to speak with her, to listen to her soft voice. They place us in her presence, as though we are looking over her shoulder while she writes and speaks. Welty would so appreciate the chorus of voices in the book and the film that affirm why future generations will embrace her work.”
