The Collected Stories of Eudora Welty is a collection of short stories by Eudora Welty, first published by Houghton Mifflin in 1980. Its first paperback edition (Harvest Books) won the 1983 National Book Award for Paperback Fiction.[1]
Collected Stories demonstrates the author's ability to write from the point of view of diverse characters ranging from Aaron Burr to a deaf black servant boy, a traveling salesman, eccentric Southern matrons, and countless others.
Kirkus Reviews indicated Welty's "famous tales of Southern small-town life have only become more impressive with time," concluding that The Collected Stories are "a welcome gathering of an important writer's short fiction—some of which is her very best work of all".[2]
