Flowering Judas Katherine Anne Porter by Virginia Spence Carr PAPERBACK

\""Flowering Judas\""Katherine Anne Porter\nAuthor(s): Virginia Spencer Carr\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Rutgers University Press, United States\nImprint: Rutgers University Press\nISBN-13: 9780813519791, 978-0813519791\nSynopsis\nKatherine Anne Porter often spoke of her story \""Flowering Judas\"" as the tale she liked best of all her stories because it came the nearest to what she meant it to be. It is the story of Laura, an idealistic woman, who travels to Mexico from Arizona at the age of twenty-two to assist the Obreg-n Revolution. \n\nThis casebook on \""Flowering Judas\"" addresses Porter's ambivalence surrounding her roles as woman and artist and also attests to the profound influence of Mexico upon her work. Readers of this early tale will not be surprised to learn that although Porter was a practicing feminist in her life and her work, she actually eschewed the feminist label.\n\nVirginia Spencer Carr brings her own sharply focused biographer's eye to the introduction, further.
