Welty’s beautifully c rafted\, joyous\, and wise stories\, often set in the South\, cross the lines of color and class\, offering unforgettable portraits of a region and its people. She was the author of ten collections of short stories\, six novels\, and five books of literary criticism. Her many awards incl ude the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1973.\n\nTo celebrate Welty’s 100t h birthday\, Continuing Studies has invited her biographer and friend Su zanne Marrs to talk about Welty and her legacy. Marrs’ 2005 biography\, entitled simply Eudora Welty\, is regarded as the definitive life story\ , and one that the Dallas Morning News said “captures the humorous and u nconventional spirit of one of the South’s greatest writers.”\n\nOur eve ning celebration also features readings of some of Welty’s most popular short stories (“Why I Live at the P.O.\,” “A Worn Path\,” "Where Is the Voice Coming From?"). These performances—by Courtney Walsh\, Aleta Hayes \, and Rush Rehm—will be supplemented by projections of Welty’s extraord inary photographs\, many of them made while she worked for the WPA in th e 1930s\, bearing clear-eyed witness to the human and architectural land scape of the South.\n\nSUZANNE MARRS\nProfessor of English\, Millsaps Co llege\nSuzanne Marrs’ research centers on the American South and especia lly on Eudora Welty. She has lectured widely on Welty’s fiction\, servin g as consultant for the 1987 BBC documentary on the writer. In addition to numerous articles\, Marrs has published The Welty Collection\, Welty and Politics\, One Writer’s Imagination: The Fiction of Eudora Welty\, a nd the biography Eudora Welty. Recipient of the 1998 Phoenix Award for O utstanding Achievement in Eudora Welty Scholarship\, Professor Marrs is currently Welty Foundation Scholar in Residence.\n\nRUSH REHM\nProfessor of Drama and Classics\; Artistic Director\, Stanford Summer Theater (SS T)\nRush Rehm has written extensively on Greek tragedy\, including Greek Tragic Theatre\, Marriage to Death\, The Play of Space: Spatial Transfo rmation in Greek Tragedy\, and Radical Theatre: Greek Tragedy and the Mo dern World.
