Abstract

The year 1922 marked the beginning of the fiction-writing career of one of the twentieth century’s finest short story writers, Katherine Anne Porter. In a review of The Leaning Tower and Other Short Stories in 1944, Edmund Wilson says, “she is absolutely a first-rate artist, and what she wants other people to know she imparts to them by creating an object, the self-developing organism of a work of prose.”
