Set in Porter's native Texas and her beloved Mexico, prewar Nazi Germany and the gothic Old South, these are stories of love, outrage, betrayal, and spiritual reckoning that are severe but never cruel, and always exquisitely precise.
Quotes by Katherine Anne Porter

The past is never where you think you left it: you are not the same person you were yesterday.
They had both noticed that a life of dissipation sometimes gave to a face the look of gaunt suffering spirituality that a life of asceticism was supposed to give and quite often did not.
