"A Visit to Grandmother" is a short story written by American author William Melvin Kelley. First published in 1967, the story is a poignant exploration of family dynamics, communication, and the complexities of human relationships. It is often included in anthologies and studied in literature courses for its rich thematic content and character development.

The narrative centers around Dr. Charles Dunford, a successful African American man who decides to visit his mother, whom he has not seen in many years. Accompanied by his teenage son, Chig, Charles's journey to his childhood home becomes a journey into his past. The visit is prompted by a medical conference in Nashville, but it soon becomes clear that there are deeper, unresolved issues at play.

Upon arriving at his mother's house, Charles is confronted with memories and emotions he has long suppressed. The story delves into the strained relationship between Charles and his mother, as well as the favoritism she showed towards his brother, GL. Through a series of flashbacks and conversations, Kelley reveals the underlying tensions and misunderstandings that have shaped the family's history.

One of the central themes of "A Visit to Grandmother" is the idea of perception versus reality. Charles's recollections of his childhood are challenged by his mother's perspective, leading to a poignant realization about the nature of love and familial bonds. The story also touches on themes of forgiveness, acceptance, and the passage of time.

Kelley's writing is characterized by its emotional depth and keen insight into human behavior. "A Visit to Grandmother" is a testament to his ability to capture the complexities of family life and the enduring impact of childhood experiences. The story remains a powerful and relevant piece of literature, resonating with readers for its universal themes and compelling narrative.
