description: All her published stories are gatherd here--those contained in A Curtain of Green, The Wide Net, The Golden Apples and The Bridge of the Innisfallen, together with two stories previously uncollected. Although their events and settings are varied, and they range as far from Miss Welty's native Mississippi as Cork and Naples, they spring from a distinctive Southern sensibility, from the author's response to the place where she has always lived, from long familiarity with the thoughts and feelings of ordinary people around her. Yet the characters in her stories are anything but ordinary; in the commonplace she perceives what is unique. She is sensitively tuned to their voices and their minds, whether she is in the skin of a beautician, a salesman, or a jazz player.
