by Eudora Welty (Author)
These extraordinary stories are sweet and melancholic divulging the minor tragedies of people with an original and black humour. The stories are full of weird and wonderful characters - deaf mutes, bigamists, spinsters, hairdressers and jazz players. She captures the casual absurdities and idiosyncrasies of her native south characters with a sympathetic and subtle humour. A truly wonderful collection.
