  • Descrição: Like her protagonist, Welty views the pathways of her own experiences through memories, suggesting that there exists a link between what she preaches and what she writes. [...]in the intersections between her memoir, One Writer's Beginnings, her nonfiction works, and fictional texts, I propose that Welty utilizes constructions of cyclical temporality to reveal and pronounce the human experience-for the burgeoning writer, reader, and critic. What does all this philosophical conjecture mean in terms of Welty's depiction of time in her multimodal works? Because she distinguishes between chronological time and temporality, focusing on examining the correlations between her lived experiences and those of her characters and interrogating the passage of time through the discourse of the narrative form, Welty emphasizes the value of a comprehensive human experience, encapsulating what it means to be a part of the "confluence" of life (see OWB 947; OD 979). [...]The Optimist's Daughter was originally published in the New Yorker in 1969 before being published as a novel in 1972, coinciding nicely with Welty's subsequent nonfiction publication of "Some Notes on Time in Fiction," published in the Mississippi Quarterly in 1973 (Tiegreen 605). Renae R. Applegate House considers this occupation central to the confrontation of the self, "examining the past, living in the present, and moving toward a more positive future" (97). [...]in what stands as possibly the most fascinating intersection between fiction and memoir, emphasizing Welty's mastery of cyclical time, One Writer's Beginnings echoes the very same discussion of optimism found in the pages of The Optimist's Daughter, having described Laurel McKelva's parents in terms of her own.7 As we come to find out, Welty's mother professes to be the pessimist and her father, the optimist.
