Books by Janis P. Stout

Katherine Anne Porter's life (1890-1980) closely parallelled that of her century, not only in its span but in its interests and contradictions. She was a Communist sympathiser who later became quasi-fascist, a cosmopolitan who embraced Southern agrarianism, a femme fatale and a feminist.

?Stout's breadth of reading is impressive, her prose readable, and her method scholarly.?-Library Journal
