Eudora Welty's "Magic" reprinted for the first time since 1936

In the Summer 2004 issue of Eudora Welty Newsletter, "Magic," a Welty short story out of print since 1936, was reprinted for the first time.

An afterword by Pearl McHaney, EWN editor, discusses the story's origins, its publication history, and Welty's motives for never including the piece in any of her short story collections. Read McHaney's article here.
