About the Author:
Katherine Anne Porter, author of the bestselling novel Ship of Fools, was a well-travelled journalist who gained literary fame when, at the age of forty, her first collection of stories was published. Her ability as an unsparing observer of people's inner lives, along with her Southern upbringing and time spent in Mexico and Europe, provided material for some of her best-known work. She is the winner of both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award.
Review:
"Here is the ideal spoken word cassette to enrich your reading of The Letters of Katherine Anne Porter...The moral edge to these tales is as cutting as that in Nathaniel Hawthorne's fabulations." -- Living Room Learning, July 1990

"The four selections included in this high quality audio tape provide an excellent introduction to the short stories of this popular Pulitzer Prize-winning author. The tape also serves as a showcase for the talented stage actress Siobhan McKenna, a life-long friend of Porter. McKenna's reading is flawless. The voice of each character in the four stories is distinctive...Porter's keen observation of the inner lives of her characters is clearly presented in this dramatic reading. Highly recommended." -- Kliatt, January 1992
