One Writer's Beginnings (The William E. Massey Sr. Lectures in the History of American Civilization)

One Writer's Beginnings (The William E. Massey Sr. Lectures in the History of American Civilization) - Eudora Welty If you've never heard Eudora Welty speak, well then my friend, you've never heard Eudora Welty speak.

I found an audiobook copy of this at the library and, liking to hear authors read their own work or talk about their experiences, I picked up this aptly named title. One Writer's Beginnings is of Welty's beginnings in the deep south, early 20th century Mississippi. These lectures, performed by Welty toward in the latter part of her life for a Harvard audience, have a free-flow feel and yet they are mostly scripted. They are simple, occasionally seem to meander, but are incredibly endearing.
