Meanwhile There Are Letters: The Correspondence of Eudora Welty and Ross Macdonald by Suzanne Marrs, Tom Nolan

beasley's review

4.0

The most interesting thing about this book is the fact of the friendship between Eudora Welty and Ross Macdonald, and that the fact of their friendship became a topic in their letters and its own unique thing that only they really understood. I also greatly enjoyed their discussions of what they were reading and what they were writing, and what they thought of various writers. Of less interest for me was the information about the minutiae of their daily lives. Their correspondence had an elegiac undertone to it that gave me a different view of both of them.
