Produktinformationen zu „The Leaning Tower and Other Stories (ePub)“
The classic 1944 collection of ten short stories by the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winning author and journalist
Incomparable in their dramatic clarity and emotional force, the ten gems in this collection affirm Katherine Anne Porter's genius for writing stories, as Eudora Welty observed, "with a power that stamps them to their very last detail on the memory."
The collection includes The Old Order, a sequence of short stories that paints a devastating portrait of the racial inequities that plague life in the American South, as well as other selected stories such as "The Leaning Tower" and "The Downward Path to Wisdom".

Autoren-Porträt von Katherine Anne Porter
In the 1920s and '30s, Katherine Anne Porter emerged as a classicist among the moderns, a lapidary miniaturist whose every short story was greeted as a thing of timeless perfection. Edmund Wilson called her "a first-rate artist" who wrote "English of a purity and precision almost unique in contemporary American fiction." Her mastery of theme and gift for characterization were hers alone among the storywriters; even her shortest works were imbued with a richness of design, incident, and experience seldom found outside long novels. Her ambition and her range of emotion and effect-from cold realism to measureless compassion, from the plainspoken to the lyrical-were unequaled in her time and have had few successors. She was, and is forever, an American original.
