The Collected Stories of Katherine Anne Porter	comment	The Collected Stories of Katherine Anne Porter is a collection of, you guessed it, short stories, written by, yes, Katherine Anne Porter.It is a collection of 26 short stories and short novels (in the preface, Porter expresses a strong dislike for the word "novella"). The 26 stories are every short story Porter ever published, 22 of which were included in prevous collections and four of which were published in book form for the first time. In fact, the collection is almost Porter's entire fictional output, missing only her one novel, Ship of Fools. Many of the stories are set in Mexico, a country that Porter visited enough to consider a second home.

The Collected Stories of Katherine Anne Porter / int_16ad6f7f	type	"It" Is Dehumanizing
The Collected Stories of Katherine Anne Porter / int_16ad6f7f	comment	"It" Is Dehumanizing: In "The Old Order" Nannie, an elderly black woman, remembers being sold as a slave when she was a child. When the white man buying made some crude comments about how Nannie was too scrawny, the slave trader says "it'll grow out of it."

The Collected Stories of Katherine Anne Porter / int_18d15922	comment	Title Drop: In "Pale Horse, Pale Rider" a feverish, near-delirious Miranda sings "Pale horse, pale rider, done taken my lover away." It's from an old Negro spiritual, which of course is in turn inspired by the Book of Revelation describing Death as a rider on a pale horse. In "The Leaning Tower" Charles accidentally breaks his landlady's knickknack, a Leaning Tower of Pisa figurine.

Cousin Eva remembers Amy and Amy's TB, and how Amy would cough Blood from the Mouth and the illness gave her "a flush on each cheekbone", and Amy would sit wrapped up on the couch surrounded by flowers. Cousin Eva, a modern woman and a suffragette, thinks the whole thing ridiculous and scorns Amy for not taking care of herself.

Sophia Jane was the girly girl, the pretty one in her youth who wore frilly dresses and acts as a proper Southern belle. Eliza for her part is a Maiden Aunt, who clambers around on stepladders to her sister's horror, who takes snuff, and who is something of an amateur scientist with both a telescope and a microscope.

There's a local tough named Richards who sometimes winks at her and once offered her a ride. Rosaleen angrily says that if he ever laid a hand on her she'd shoot him dead—then she can't stop thinking about just that happening.

(She also has "long, invaluably beautiful legs" that she covers under long skirts.) She's irritated when Braggioni the revolutionary leader notices her chest anyway.

She has good reasons, what with how the men of her family raped and impregnated their slaves—part of the story is set in the antebellum South—how her husband blew her inheritance on gambling and bad investments, and how years later, after she made something of a financial recovery, her sons also blew her money on bad investments.

"Pale Horse, Pale Rider" is about Miranda as a young journalist, falling in love with a soldier, only to have her romance interrupted by the 1918 flu pandemic.

The Collected Stories of Katherine Anne Porter / int_deecc9eb	comment	Awful Wedded Life: The poisonous marriage in "A Day's Work." Mr. Halloran hates his wife, who is unquestionably a shrew; besides constantly belittling and insulting him, Mrs. Halloran is an extreme puritan who won't even take her clothes off to bathe, and seemingly hates her husband for deflowering her. He also blames her for refusing to let him take a job some years ago with the local political machine, a decisive negative turning point in his life. But as the story progresses the reader learns more about why Mrs. Halloran hates her husband. He, as it turns out, is a shiftless drunk who has been unable to find work since he was fired from his job seven years prior. He also beats her—in his drunken rage when he comes home he flings an iron at her head, and when the local beat cop notices the welt over Mrs. Halloran's head he makes reference to "this time."
