The Golden Apples

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. 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."

Reexamining the collection in 2011, The Independent critic David Evans described the novel as evocative, "But it is her vivid evocations of nature that linger." Another 2011 review in The Guardian wrote that the collection is "brilliantly capturing the precise timbre of a fleeting moment and revealing its startling load."
