Escape

Escape
Inspired by Pat Del to add the link to Why I Live at the P.O., one of my all-time favorite short stories. By the wonderful Eudora Welty (1909-2001). art-bin.com/art/or_weltypostoff.html

Yes, but I couldn't find it. So, I now live at the post office. ;-b
There is a wonderful, hilarious short story by Eudora Welty called Why I Live at the P.O. art-bin.com/art/or_weltypostoff.html

A tomb-like atmosphere, something grand, Egyptian.
I love the detail of the figure escaping the fire..

It feels that way inside. Classic 1930s art deco gov't building. Thank you, Steve!

Stick-Man was in trouble. I hope he escaped rather than stopping to read his mail. ;-)

It was all just bills, anyway, so he threw it into the fire! Thanks, Ronald!

Sylvain ....

I used the google translate tool.. so it may be a mess.. but you will at least have an idea of it !

Thanks Pam
After a couple of lines, I gave up google translation (a real disaster)
But I keep the name of Welty in around of my memory

Sylvain, you can probably find her stories translated into French. Perhaps at a large library? The P.O. story is in this collection: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Curtain_of_Green

Sylvain Wiart has replied to Diane Putnam club
merci, publié en français sous le titre : "L'homme pétrifié"

Diane Putnam club has replied to Sylvain Wiart
Oh, glad you have it there! If you read her work, keep in mind she is writing using Southern slang, or at least a Southern accent. I can't imagine how that could be translated into French!

Looks like one of those Art Deco P,O.'s that Don Barrett collects...

Diane Putnam club has replied to slgwv club
It is and it's a very attractive building. I was looking for my shot of the whole building, but couldn't find it anywhere - including on GE. Grr! I'll just have to get a new one.
