Description for LOSING BATTLES by Eudora Welty: On the hot, dry first Sunday of August, three generations of Granny Vaughn's descendants gather at her home in the little town of Ba nner, Mississippi, to celebrate her ninetieth birthday. The celebrations take only two days, but many members of the family are great storytellers, and when they get together, the temptation is irresistible---a device that enables Eudora Welty to take the reader back into the last battles of the past, capturing different tones of voice and ways of thinking.
