Book Synopsis Katherine Anne Porter: Collected Stories & Other Writings by : Katherine Anne Porter
Download or read book Katherine Anne Porter: Collected Stories & Other Writings written by Katherine Anne Porter and published by Library of America. This book was released on 2008-09-18 with total page 1100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eudora Welty said that Katherine Anne Porter ?writes stories with a power that stamps them to their very last detail on the memory.? Set in her native Texas and her beloved Mexico, prewar Nazi Germany and the gothic Old South, they are stories of love, outrage, betrayal, and spiritual reckoning that are severe but never cruel, and always exquisitely precise. They number fewer than thirty, but as Robert Penn Warren commented, ?many are unsurpassed in modern fiction,? and when gathered in one volume in 1965 they won their author both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. The Library of America now reprints that landmark volume, The Collected Stories of Katherine Anne Porter, and pairs it with a completely new selection from Porter?s long-out-of-print short prose. Expanding the contents of her 1952 collection The Days Before to include both early journalism and major pieces from her final three decades, the prose works collected here are grouped in four parts: critical essays on writers she loved and learned from, including James, Cather, Lawrence, and Colette; personal essays and speeches on such topics as the craft of writing, her own work, women in myth and in history, and American politics; essays and reports on Mexican life, letters, and revolution; and two previously uncollected forays into autobiography.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic 1939 collection of three short novels, including the famous title story set during the flu epidemic of 1918. From the gothic Old South to revolutionary Mexico, few writers evoke such a multitude of worlds, both exterior and interior, as powerfully as Katherine Anne Porter. This sharp collection of three short novels includes "Pale Horse, Pale Rider," Porter's most celebrated story, where a young woman lies in a fever during the influenza epidemic, her childhood memories mingling with fears for her boyfriend on his way to war. Also included is "Noon Wine," a haunting story of tragedy and scandal on a small dairy farm in Texas, and "Old Mortality," a story of discovering family truths and self-discovery. Pale Horse, Pale Rider unites the finest work from one of the most influential writers of the twentieth century.

Download or read book Katherine Anne Porter Remembered written by Darlene Harbour Unrue and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2010-05-13 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a collection of reminiscences and memoirs by contemporaries, friends, and associates of Porter offering a revealing portrait of the elusive and complex American writer. From a fractured and vagabond girlhood in Texas, Porter led a wildly itinerant life that took her through five marriages, innumerable love affairs, and homes in Colorado, New York, Paris, Mexico, Louisiana, California, and Maryland. With very little formal education, she grew to become a major writer of short stories and the author of several books including Flowering Judas and other stories; Ship of Fools; Pale Horse; Pale Ride; Noon Wine; and The Collected Stories of Katherine Anne Porter, which won both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. The 63 reminiscences in this book are testaments to Porter's extraordinary beauty, her gift for mesmerizing and charming audiences and friends, her yearnings for a lasting home, her delusions about love, the astonishing range and scope of her reading, her sharp tongue and vindictiveness, and her final paranoid renunciations of friends and family. Along the way, Porter formed friendships with Eudora Welty, Elizabeth Hardwick, Flannery O’Connor, and Cleanth Brooks whose remembrances of her are included.

Book Synopsis The Days Before by : Katherine Anne Porter
Download or read book The Days Before written by Katherine Anne Porter and published by Books for Libraries. This book was released on 1952 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A first collection of thirty-three pieces which have appeared in various publications over the past thirty years and repesent the critical interests and personal taste of a writer who is a scrupulous stylist. Acknowledging her preference for the "conscious, disciplined artist", it is natural that Henry James, Willa Cather, Katherine Mansfield, Eudora Welty, Virginia Woolf, Rilke, and Edith Sitwell attract a scrutiny which is appreciative as well as evaluative. And the title piece which returns to the childhood of Henry James and refers to the "first affections and attachments and admirations" never forgotten is particularly fine. The second section of essays, "Personal and Particular," range from a Louisiana landscape to a rose, from some considerations on love and marriage to the atom bomb--and she concludes the volume with a series of Mexican pieces which include a longer critique of the Mexican revolutionary writer Lizardi. Katherine Anne Porter is a discriminating writer, for a discriminating audience, and these pieces, fastidious in discernment, subtle in judgment, have a definite destination.
