Query: If you love writing, read this

Reviewers are correct in saying that this was not meant to be a how-to book about writing. I believe the book might be taken from several lectures she gave at Harvard rather late in life? In any case, the book will be greatly enjoyed partly because Welty is such a good writer that she could probably be captivating if she wrote about a trip to the grocery store.I love to read about how great writers started out. What is their family background? What were their struggles? What motivated them? How did their writing develop? Who were their encouragers or discouragers? What were the hard lessons they learned? What things about the writing life did they enjoy most? Which were the most challenging? And on an on go my questions.Welty does not disappoint. Though not exhaustively, she tells her story and the book is to be gradually savored, not rushed through in three hours. An excellent book.
