Gr 9 Up-An examination of four of Welty's short stories: "Death of a Traveling Salesman," "Why I Live at the P.O.," "The Wide Net," and "No Place for You, My Love." For each, a summary is followed by an annotated list of characters and extracts from five or six authoritative critical sources analyzing different aspects of the story or the author's themes. The book begins with a two-page biography of Welty and concludes with lists of works by and about her as well as a helpful "Index of Themes and Ideas."-Kathleen A.
