Review by Kirkus Book Review

Here are all of Welty's published stories--chiefly the contents of four previous collections: A Curtain of Green (1941), The Wide Net and Other Stories (1943), The Golden Apples (1949), and The Bride of Innisfallen and Other Stories (1955). And it need hardly be said--since Welty continues to be enthusiastically anthologized and adapted (most recently in an acclaimed off-Broadway one-woman show)--that her famous tales of Southern small-town life have only become more impressive with time. But also included here are two stories from the 1960s: ""Where Is the Voice Coming From?,"" an uncollected 1963 New Yorker story narrated by a white man out to kill a black civil-rights leader (inspired, as Welty describes in her brief, modest preface, by the shooting of Medgar Evers); and ""The Demonstrators,"" another Sixties story of the uneasily changing South that appeared in the O. Henry Award Prize Stories 1968. A welcome gathering of an important writer's short fiction--some of which is her very best work of all. Copyright ©Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
