Novelist, short-story writer, winner of the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize, Katherine Anne Porter is one of America's most respected and enduring literary figures. Upon her death in 1980 at the age of ninety, she left behind thousands of letters, from which Isabel Bayley, Porter's close friend for over twenty-five years and her literary archivist, selected the best. The list of correspondents reads like a Who's Who of twentieth-century letters and includes Marianne Moore, Ezra Pound, Malcolm Cowley, Hart Crane, Eudora Welty, and John Malcolm Brinnin, among others. Includes an Index. :Lively, entertaining and often brilliant." - The Washington Post Book World ISBN: 0871134535 $13.95USD
