This is the first complete collection of Flannery O'Connor's stories.
This volume, which includes all the stories from A Good Man Is Hard to Find and Everything That Rises Must Converge, also contains several stories never before published in book form.
Flannery O'Connor was a unique writer whose work embodies not only the tensions and contradictions of the American South but many of the obsessions and issues at the heart of modernity, and some of her best work is to be found in her stories.
Ordered 2-14-2007 and just rec'd. 3-19-2005.
A great many people are familiar with Flannery O'Connor, and she is universally regarded as one of the best American short story writers. Her novel Wise Blood was made into a cult classic film by John Huston.
I'm not terribly familiar w/the "Southern Gothic" genre, which I think these stories fall into, but I saw that it was a glimpse into a particular area of the USA I've never really been to & a period that I will never see. Flannery O'Connor uses dialects, accents, & dialogue to create a depth of character & location that's extremely unique.
Flannery O'Connor was born in Savannah, Georgia, in 1925. When she died at the age of thirty-nine, America lost one of its most gifted writers at the height of her powers. O’Connor wrote two novels, Wise Blood (1952) and The Violent Bear It Away (1960), and two story collections, A Good Man Is Hard to Find (1955) and Everything That Rises Must Converge (1964). Her Complete Stories, published posthumously in 1972, won the National Book Award that year, and in a 2009 online poll it was voted as the best book to have won the award in the contest’s 60-year history. Her essays were published in Mystery and Manners (1969) and her letters in The Habit of Being (1979). In 1988 the Library of America published her Collected Works; she was the first postwar writer to be so honored. O’Connor was educated at the Georgia State College for Women, studied writing at the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, and wrote much of Wise Blood at the Yaddo artists’ colony in upstate New York. She lived most of her adult life on her family’s ancestral farm, Andalusia, outside Milledgeville, Georgia...
