Who took first place? Pulitzer Prize winner Eudora Welty. I think I'm okay with that. However, one indignant friend of mine said I should have "campaigned" and made more people vote for me in order to oust Eudora, who, as he pointed out, is dead. I still think I'm flattered, and totally okay with her winning.
This year. ;)
Best Jackson Writer: Eudora Weltyby Greg Williamson
Winner of two Guggenheim Fellowships and a Pulitzer Prize in fiction, Eudora Welty lived in Jackson almost all of her 92 years before her death in 2001. She still remains so much a part of the community. I love her dialogue, which conveys all the complexity of the human condition, and when read aloud makes you feel as rooted to the soil of the South as an old magnolia tree.
Second: Donna Ladd / Third: (tie) Orley Hood and Todd Stauffer / Good Showing: (tie) Lori Gregory and Beth Kander.
