A woman writer and a southerner, Katherine Anne Porter is remembered as one of America′s best short story writers. Her literary creation is most productive in 1930s and continues its prosperity into 1980s. Her critical reputation is established with the publication of her first volume of short stories, namely Flowering Judas and Other Stories , three of which will be selectively brought into our discussion in this paper. As a stylist of clarity and elegance, Porter seems to penetrate the thoughts of people and thus invites her readers to experience the internal world of the characters. The themes in her stories are often multi leveled, in which we may have an idea about her political, social and liberal beliefs with a variety of religious symbols. Reading of these stories provides a good opportunity for us to appreciate the kind of literary craftsmanship she is possessed of and the round characters she has portrayed with rich literal and figurative details and with illuminating visions of reality.
