From the first, reviewers loved Welty??'s language and disparaged her lack of plot. Their eager anticipation for the next book is rarely diminished by the shock of reading entirely new styles of writing. Her work was admired even as it challenged its readers. The reviews selected for reprinting here represent the diversity of Welty??'s reception and assessment. Reviews from small towns, urban centers, noted fiction writers, professional reviewers, academics, and everyday readers are included. The comments of reviewing rivals such as the New York Times and the New York Herald Tribune, Nation and New Yorker, when read side by side, reveal the nuances both of the reviewers and of the work of this important Southern writer. |
