Autorenporträt

In the 1920s and 1930s, Katherine Anne Porter emerged as a classicist among the moderns, a lapidary miniaturist whose every short story was greeted as a thing of timeless perfection. Edmund Wilson called her "a first-rate artist" who wrote "English of a purity and precision almost unique in contemporary American fiction." Her mastery of theme and gift for characterization were hers alone among the storywriters; even her shortest works were imbued with a richness of design, incident, and experience seldom found outside long novels. Her ambition and her range of emotion and effect-from cold realism to measureless compassion, from the plainspoken to the lyrical-were unequaled in her time and have had few successors. She was, and is forever, an American original.
