April 13, 2009 . Celebrating E.Welty's Centennial With My Students






This year April 13 happened during Passionate Weak. Being Russian Orthodox I love the season of Great Lent and still wanted to have some sort of celebration. So, back in March I had my students start reading Death of a Traveling Salesman. They were diligent and came to class prepared. I told them about Eudora Welty, introduced her books of photographs, conversations and stories. We discussed Death of a Traveling Salesman and my students got excited about reading and discussing some other stories by Eudora Welty. And then of course there was some nice food. I could not bring a cake (it was the time of Great lent) but I did bring apples and bananas and some juice. So we had a real party.


It was a beautiful spring day in Krasnodar, Russia and Eudora Welty made it special for us.

Henry Green said:

"Prose is not to be read aloud but to oneself alone at night, and it is not quick as poetry, but rather a gathering web of insinuations which go further than names however shared can ever go. Prose should be a long intimacy between starngers with no direct appeal to what both have known. It should slowly appeal to feeling unexpressed, it should in the end draw tears out of the stone."
