THE JILTING OF GRANNY


WEATHERALL


BY KATHERINE ANNE PORTER


Katherine Anne Porter (1890-1980) published the


best-selling novel Ship of Fools, but is better


remembered for her short fiction. Porter turned to


writing after spending two years as a patient in a


sanatorium recovering from tuberculosis. Distantly


related to both Daniel Boone and O. Henry, Porter


became a public intellectual, appearing on radio and


television to discuss her writing or classic works of


literature.
