Book Description
Is life really worth it? She always wonders if other people come to the same conclusion as her. Probably not. But why does it matter anyway? It isn't like life has grand plans for her. It isn't like she is missing out on anything. She can just continue living in fictional worlds and figure the rest out later. That is if life doesn't catch up to her first. Because just when she is about to give up, a mysterious person appears and reminds her of things she has long forgotten. Her story is one of suffering and hope in a world where all hope seems lost sometimes. It is a story of falling and rising again. It is a story of beauty, of strength, and of never giving up. A story we all need to hear sometimes.

Eudora Welty and Mystery
Author: Jacob Agner
Publisher: Univ. Press of Mississippi
ISBN: 1496842723
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 165
Book Description
Contributions by Jacob Agner, Sarah Gilbreath Ford, Katie Berry Frye, Michael Kreyling, Andrew B. Leiter, Rebecca Mark, Suzanne Marrs, Tom Nolan, Michael Pickard, Harriet Pollack, and Victoria Richard Eudora Welty’s ingenious play with readers’ expectations made her a cunning writer, a paramount modernist, a short story artist of the first rank, and a remarkable literary innovator. In her signature puzzle-texts, she habitually engages with familiar genres and then delights readers with her transformations and nonfulfillment of conventions. Eudora Welty and Mystery: Hidden in Plain Sight reveals how often that play is with mystery, crime, and detective fiction genres, popular fiction forms often condescended to in literary studies, but unabashedly beloved by Welty throughout her lifetime. Put another way, Welty often creates her stories’ secrets by both evoking and displacing crime fiction conventions. Instead of restoring order with a culminating reveal, her story-puzzles characteristically allow mystery to linger and thicken. The mystery pursued becomes mystery elsewhere. The essays in this collection shift attention from narratives, characters, and plots as they have previously been understood by unearthing enigmas hidden within those constructions. Some of these new readings continue Welty’s investigation of hegemonic whiteness and southern narratives of race—outlining these in chalk as outright crime stories. Other essays show how Welty anticipated the regendering of the form now so characteristic of contemporary women mystery writers. Her tender and widely ranging personal correspondence with the hard-boiled American crime writer Ross Macdonald is also discussed. Together these essays make the case that across her career, Eudora Welty was arguably one of the genre’s greatest double agents, and, to apply the titles of Macdonald’s novels to her inventiveness with the form, she is its “underground woman,” its unexpected “sleeping beauty.”
