How cool. A clip of William F. Buckley with great Southern writers Walker Percy and Eudora Welty in 1972. I think my favorite Welty short story is “Music From Spain,” which takes place not in the South but in San Francisco.

From a Paris Review Q&A with Welty:

“INTERVIEWER
‘Music from Spain’ takes place in San Francisco.

WELTY
That’s using impression of place. I was in San Francisco for only three or four months—that’s seeing it in a flash. That story was all a response to a place, an act of love at first sight. It’s written from the point of view of the stranger, of course—the only way to write about a strange place. On the other hand, I couldn’t write a story laid in New York, where I’ve come so many times—because it’s both familiar and unfamiliar, a no-man’s-land.”
