In her now-famous introduction to the collection, Katherine Anne Porter wrote that there is even in the smallest story a sense of power in reserve which makes me believe firmly that, splendid beginning that it is, it is only a beginning.In this collection are many of the stories that have become acknowledged masterpieces: the hilarious over-the-top family drama that drives a small-town resentful postmistress to explain Why I Live at the P.O.; the deeply satisfying thwarting of a trio of busybodies by a feeble-minded young woman in Lily Daw and the Three Ladies; the poignant pilgrimage of elderly Phoenix Jackson in A Worn Path; and the boldly experimental and jubilantly playful literary improvisation of Powerhouse, inspired by a performance Eudora Welty saw by Fats Waller.Porter added that [Welty] has simply an eye and an ear sharp, shrewd, and true as a tuning fork. Like the jazz tunes Powerhouse bangs out on the piano, Weltys stories remain as fresh, alive, and unpredictable today as when they first appeared.Miss Weltys stories are deceptively simple. They are concerned with ordinary people, but what happens to them and the manner of the telling are far from ordinary.The New Yorker...3842316A Curtain of Green206251https://www.gandhi.com.mx/a-curtain-of-green-9780547538501/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3458292/c2f4a9e3-c0b8-4201-ab3a-f0bfaaa768f5.jpg?v=638385402356030000InStockMXN99999DIEbook19919780547538501_W3siaWQiOiJjZmI0ZDYxNy0wYjg5LTQ5ZjAtOTMxMi1lYTc3M2I1ZGVjODUiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjI1MSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjQ1LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjIwNiwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMTItMDRUMDQ6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9780547538501_The debut short fiction collection from the Pulitzer Prizewinning Southern author: A fine writer and a distinguished book (The New Yorker).When A Curtain of Green was published, it immediately established an unknown young writer from Mississippi as a uniquely original literary voice and a great American author.
