Welty mutet dem Leser einiges an Wahrheiten zu; er ist ein Aufklarer, was die grossen und die kleinen Verbrechen, die Verschleierungen des Furchtbaren, die Verharmlosungen der Geschichte angeht. Er braucht nicht in die Kapitalen dieser Welt zu gehen; das Unrecht geschah oft genug nebenan. Er entschuldigt es nicht mit dem Hinweis auf die Gebrechlichkeit dieser Welt, auf die Umstande, die nun einmal so waren, auf die Zeitlaufte, die dem Einzelnen keine andere Wahl liessen. Aber er verurteilt nicht. Er macht nur aufmerksam. Und so ist er eben doch Chronist, Zeitzeuge, Berichterstatter, Reporter,...
