Literary Legends Take Flight: Honoring Katherine Anne Porter & Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
by Suzanne Manners, Wilkes County Librarian
As spring turns to summer, we pause to honor two literary figures whose birthdays fall in May and June: the brilliant Katherine Anne Porter and the ever-enchanting Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Though they wrote in different languages and styles, both authors left lasting imprints on world literature with works that explore memory, mortality, and the invisible threads that bind us.
