Description: Suzanne Marrs, What There Is to Say We Have Said: The Correspondence of Eudora Welty and William Maxwell. Harcourt Mifflin Harcourt, 2011. ISBN 978-0-547-37649-3. First Edition Hardcover Book with Dust Jacket. Signed by the author on the half title page with a dedication, "To Babe with gratitude for bringing me to Tupelo, Suzanne Marrs, 28 December 2011." Book is in very good/fine condition. Everything absolutely perfect--book boards, text block, tight spine, dust jacket all exquisite! For over fifty years, Eudora Welty and William Maxwell, two of America's admired writers, penned letters to each other. They shared their worries about work and family, literary opinions and scuttlebutt, moments of despair and hilarity. Living half a continent apart, their friendship was nourished and maintained by their correspondence. What There Is to Say We Have Said bears witness to Welty and Maxwell’s editorial relationships—both in his capacity as New Yorker editor and in their collegial back-and forth on their work. It’s also a chronicle of the literary world of the time; read talk of James Thurber, William Shawn, Katherine Anne Porter, J. D. Salinger, Isak Dinesen, William Faulkner, John Updike, Virginia Woolf, Walker Percy, Ford Madox Ford, John Cheever, and many more. It is a treasure trove of reading recommendations. Here, Suzanne Marrs—Welty’s biographer and friend—offers an unprecedented window into two intertwined lives. Through careful collection of more than 300 letters as well as her own insightful introductions, she has created a record of a remarkable friendship and a lyrical homage to the forgotten art of letter writing. Indexed and annotated.
