The Best Personal portrait of Eudora Welty Ever Written

This is a knockout of a book. This is what readers and fans of the great writers want to know, the author's career history, how they first attracted attention and made literary history. Fascinating insights into Miss Welty's decades long business relationship and friendship with her agent Mr. Russell, touching and beautiful. This is what we want, not some conjecture-ridden tacky piece of slop like Ann Weldron's "biography" of Miss Welty.
