Publisher Comments:

Flannery O'Connor was working on Everything That Rises Must Converge at the time of her death. This collection is an exquisite legacy from a genius of the American short story, in which she scrutinizes territory familiar to her readers: race, faith, and morality. The stories encompass the comic and the tragic, the beautiful and the grotesque; each carries her highly individual stamp and could have been written by no one else.

About the Author

Flannery O'Connor was born in Savannah, Georgia in 1925. When she died at the age of 39, America lost one of its most gifted writers at the height of her powers. O'Connor is also the author of The Violent Bear It Away (1960) and Wise Blood (1962).

This collection has some of my favorite O'Connor stories. The title story is about a white woman who does not know what to do when she sees a black woman wearing the same hat as her. O'Connor often writes about college educated children coming home to their rural roots and the ways in which they are knocked off their self raised pedestals.... This collection contains several variants on that them.
