About this product

Product Information

Winner of the National Book Award The publication of this extraordinary volume firmly established Flannery O'Connor's monumental contribution to American fiction. There are thirty-one stories here in all, including twelve that do not appear in the only two story collections O'Connor put together in her short lifetime-- Everything That Rises Must Converge and A Good Man Is Hard to Find . O'Connor published her first story, The Geranium, in 1946, while she was working on her master's degree at the University of Iowa. Arranged chronologically, this collection shows that her last story, Judgement Day--sent to her publisher shortly before her death--is a brilliantly rewritten and transfigured version of The Geranium. Taken together, these stories reveal a lively, penetrating talent that has given us some of the most powerful and disturbing fiction of the twentieth century. Also included is an introduction by O'Connor's longtime editor and friend, Robert Giroux.

An American treasure of Southern Gothic fiction
Mary Flannery O'Connor is an American treasure whose vast talents were only coming into their own when she succumbed to lupus at the age of 39 in 1964. She wrote two novels (one, Wise Blood, became a motion picture), and many superb short stories (31 in total) that accurately and unblinkingly "tell it like it was" in the Deep South of the forties and fifties. Her stories are poignant, astonishing, revelatory, and at times, deeply disturbing. Flannery had a profound understanding of what constitutes the "human condition" despite not being able to travel extensively due to the gradual (at first) progression of her illness. Her final years were spent in her mother's home in Milledgeville, Georgia, under her mother's care, but Flannery wrote some of her best stories during this ...

Her final years were spent in her mother's home in Milledgeville, Georgia, under her mother's care, but Flannery wrote some of her best stories during this time. Flannery's work has entered that rarefied body of literature that one can truly call "immortal and timeless." Today, many readers of serious literature are discovering this wonderful writer for the first time, and her popularity has not dimmed in the decades since her untimely death.

You just can't find a better buy than a great used book!
I am a voracious reader and have so many books I have yet to read. I love FLannery O'Connor's writing and can't wait to sink my teeth into it. The book is in great condition and therefore easy to read. I also love being able to find great buys on books that are in hardcover as well as paperback. Very happy with my purchase.

One of my favorite authors
In college, my prof said she wasn't that good. I didn't agree. Still believe she was one of the most amazing authors of my time. After reading the intro in this book, understand her impact on literature better.

The Complete Stories by Flannery O'Connor (1971)
Flannery O'Connor is one of the most significant writers of the 20th Century. This particular edition includes all of her published short stories. O'Connor died from Lupus at the age of 39. In her short life, Flannery O'Connor had a profound impact on the literary world. Her Southern Gothic writing not only represented the human condition, but promoted a keen sensitivity to matters of the Spirit. An American Catholic, Flannery O'Connor joined the ranks of significant other writers from the South: Walker Percy, Carson McCullers, Reynolds Price, Eudora Welty, among others. She was friends with Walker Percy, Thomas Merton, and Dorothy Day. I commend Flannery O'Connor to you. Her writings represent the heart and soul of American literature. She needs to ...

She needs to be taught, understood, and appreciated by readers world-wide. Once in a generation, a Flannery O'Connor rises to the top. Literate people everywhere should be well familiar with her work. The book offered on eBay was in "like new" condition. It was reasonably priced and competitive with other Internet booksellers. In a sentence, read Flannery O'Connor! Your life will be richer because you did.

A good critic is hard to find.
She was extraordinarily intelligent. Truly a gifted writer who tragically died at a young age. Why do feminists overlook and despise her, this most accomplished talent? Because if anything O'Connor did best it was tear away the illusion of liberals, specifically ones who would dare threaten the church. Some of these stories take broad strokes, exposing evil and daring to call it such. Others become very focused on the positive affirmation of God's grace. My favorite is Good Country People because it is so funny. And the more serious one "A Good Man is Hard to Find" with its stark subtleties. This story will endure the test of time while feminist's catachrestic mumbo jumbo will wither and fall, dying from its own poison. Read this book and then read ...

This story will endure the test of time while feminist's catachrestic mumbo jumbo will wither and fall, dying from its own poison. Read this book and then read "Wise Blood" as well as the collected letters "The Habit of Being." Go to Millegeville and see the world she grew up in and the school she attended. I do not know if Andelusia is open or not to visitors. At least drive by it.
