Latest read, Lily Daw and the Three Ladies (1941) from The Collected Stories of Eudora Welty. Simple-minded Lily Daw wants to marry a xylophone player she met at the carnival the night before but three morally upright, civic-minded women want to put a stop to that.
You can smell the magnolia and feel the sun in Welty's southern tales.
Measured, immaculate, sly storytelling.#Books #ShortStory @bookstodon #SouthernLit #Literature #EudoraWelty

#Question: If you were to assign or recommend one #book about/from the US #South, what would it be and why? Asking partially out of curiosity and partially to get the wheels turning for a syllabus.

It's Christmastime, so it is time for my favorite, "A Southern Night Before Christmas," by Kelly Kazek. "Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, We were sticky and sweaty 'cause this is the South." Y'all enjoy, and Merry Christmas!!
