The Golden Apples (original) (raw)

The Golden Apples is a short story collection with seven stories written by Eudora Welty, first published in 1949. The stories form an interrelated cycle, which explores the economic and social plight of the fictional Morgana Mississippi: “Shower of Gold”; “June Recital”; “Sir Rabbit”; “Moon Lake”; “The Whole World Knows”; “Music from Spain” and “The Wanderers.” The stories use shared themes and other literary devices to ensure that the stories operate as a unified whole. One reviewer noted that "Allusion and metaphor hang as thick as Spanish moss in Welty's prose."
