Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The collection that established O'Connor's reputation as one of the american masters of the short story. The volume contains the celebrated title story, a tale of the murderous fugitive "The Misfit," as well as "The Displaced Person" and eight other stories.
Review:
"O'Connor's works, like Maupassant's, are characterized by precision, density, and an almost alarming circumscription....In these stories the rural South is, for the first time, viewed by a writer whose orthodoxy matches her talent. The results are revolutionary." The New York Times Book Review
Review:
"Much savagery, compassion, farce, art, and truth have gone into these stories. O'Connor's characters are wholeheartedly horrible, and almost better than life. I find it hard to think of a funnier or more frightening writer." Robert Lowell, author of Life Studies
About the Author
Flannery O'Connor (1925-1964) is considered one of the foremost short story writers in American literature. An anomaly among post-World War II authors — a Roman Catholic from the Bible-belt South whose stated purpose was to reveal the mystery of God's grace in everyday life — she received several awards for her writing, which also includes novels, criticism, and letters.
