Listening -- Learning to see -- Finding a voice.
"In a 'continuous thread of revelation,' Eudora Welty sketches her autobiography and tells how her family and her surrounding shaped not only her personality but also her writing. Everyday sights, sounds, and objects resonate with the emotions of recollection" the striking clocks, the Victrola, and Eudora's earliest box camera. Her vivid descriptions of growing up in the South re-create the vanished world of her youth with the same subtlety and insight that mark her fiction. In this distillation of a writer's beginnings-part memoir, part exploration of the seeds of creativity-Welty offers a rare glimpse into the Mississippi childhood that made her the writer she would become."--back cover.
