This, believe it or not, is the great Southern writer Eudora Welty in her younger days, hamming it up for the camera (she was an excellent photographer herself). The picture is used on the cover of a volume of early writings, cartoons and odds and ends called Early Escapades, edited by her long-time friend Patti Carr Black. 'An evening with her,' Black recalls, 'was like being at vaudeville. She was great at one-liners and quick responses. She had such clarity and wit, you were always taken aback.'
