Thirteen Stories

Eudora Welty · 243 pages

Here is a baker’s dozen of Welty’s very best, including: “The Wide Net,” in which a pregnant wife threatens to drown herself, despite fear of the water, and a communal dragging of the river turns into a celebratory fish-fry; “Petrified Man,” revealing the savagery of small-town gossip; “Powerhouse,” Welty’s prose answer to jazz improvisation and the emotional heart of the blues; and “Why I Live at

A collection of fourteen short anecdotes, Bliss & Other Stories captures the human spirit in a way few writers have ever dreamed of doing.
