The Eudora Welty Foundation has put together a bang up year of concerts, parties, showings and tributes memorializing and remembering Miss Welty on the centenial year of her birth (1909.)
From her photography on display in New York City to Mary Chapin Carpenter and others in concert in Jackson to "Mississippi Reads" taking place in classrooms everywhere there is something for all lovers and would-be lovers of Miss Welty.
Events officially kicked off on November 6 with a literary symposium in NYC featuring Richard Ford, Robert MacNeil, Reynolds Price and Suzanne Marrs.
But, the fun will continue throughout 2009. Visit http://www.eudorawelty.org/ for a full rundown of events.
One of my earlier postings, here at Pea Ridge Confidential, will put you in the mood: Miss Welty Speaks ... YOU MUST HEAR MISS WELTY TELLING HER OWN STORIES! If you do, you may try to attend everything on the centenial celebration calendar.
