Best known for her startling, dark, and funny short stories, she is admired as well for her novels, essays, and letters. Since she is a writer of international acclaim, readers and scholars from around the world visit her homeplace and gravesite. Her country home was Andalusia (on Rte 441 north of Milledgeville). Her town home is at 311 West Greene Street.
