Eudora Welty's The Optimist's Daughter is my choice for 2011. It ap
pears that we have not read anything Eudora Welty has
written and considering her place in American literature
and our stage in life vis-à-vis her themes of love and
loss, it may be appropriate to read one of her better known
works. She was born April 13, 1909. and died July 23,
2001. An award-winning author and photographer who wrote about
the
American
South. Her novel, "The
Optimist's Daughter," won the Pulitzer Prize in

"While the Booker committee has made a habit of laying eggs of late, the Pulitzer has selected an impressive collection of literary gems. Marilynne Robinson's Gilead, Cormac McCarthy's The Road, Edward Jones' The Known World, Junot Diaz's Oscar Wao and, now, Paul Harding's Tinkers represent what great literature is all about.
