Suzanne Marrs, co-editor of "Meanwhile There Are Letters: The Correspondence of Eudora Welty and Ross MacDonald" (Arcade Publishing $35.00) Friday September 23 at 6:00 p.m. Register at Lake Forest Book Store 847-234-4420 Welty Foundation Scholar, Suzanne Marrs will be at Lake Forest Book Store to discuss and sign copies of the letter collection of Ross MacDonald and Eudora Welty In 1970, Ross Macdonald wrote a letter to Eudora Welty, beginning a thirteen-year correspondence between fellow writers and kindred spirits. Though separated by background, geography, genre, and his marriage, the two authors shared their lives in witty, wry, tender, and at times profoundly romantic letters, each drawing on the other for inspiration, comfort, and strength. The editors of this collection, who are the definitive biographers of these two literary figures, have provided extensive commentary and an introduction. They also include Welty's story fragment Henry, which addresses Macdonald's disease. With its mixture of correspondence and narrative, Meanwhile There Are Letters provides a singular reading experience: a prose portrait of two remarkable artists and one unforgettable relationship.
