I am happy to hear this! I still think the best way to get to know a city is to take a chance. Leave the tour guide behind, get lost in it. Reading is the same way, though it's considerably safer to be in a book when one finds oneself on the wrong side of the tracks.

Lily, If you still haven’t found the Eudora Welty intro, maybe I could share a copy with you. Just message me.

The Welty intro doesn’t seem to be available online—at least, I couldn’t find it. If you’re interested, message me.
