Diarmuid Russell was Eudora Welty's literary agent and her friend for over thirty years. This book, written with an emphasis on their spirited correspondence, shows the professional bond which existed between agent and author, as her talent took off and flourished. It dwells on the faith he had in her work and the trust she placed in his judgement. Author Michael Kreyling is a professor of English at Vanderbilt University. Photographs.
