Loading... Complete stories (1971)by Flannery O'Connor
 SAMerk | May 18, 2013 |  Flannery O'Connor is a genious of the short story. Read her and you will know her dark, demented, brilliant truth of the south. (  ) bibliofile55 | Apr 9, 2013 | ebook version velvetink | Mar 31, 2013 | I've written and thrown out three drafts on why Flannery O'Connor is Great. I won't bother with it again, not for a while. She covers the Grotesque and Sin of Southern life, for some thirty-odd stories. Sin and Grace in a palatable and altering way. Excellent characterization, using the smallest of details and conversations to broaden personality. Like all good short story collections, not to be consumed in one sitting. ( ) HadriantheBlind | Mar 30, 2013 | I had heard so much about Flannery O'Connor I thought I'd check her out. Lordamercy! If you're ever having a wonderful time: enjoying a cool breeze on a warm day, the dogs are running, the birds are singing, your children have made you feel like a good mother - she'll slap those feelings of joy and hope right out of you. I think this line from A Good Man is Hard to Find pretty much defines her view of people: "She would have been a good woman," the Misfit said "if it had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life." I read 5 of her stories: The Enduring Chill Everything That Rises Must Converge A Good Man Is Hard to Find Judgment Day A View of the Woods and I think that'll be enough, unless my life begins to go off on such a wild spree of happiness that I need to bring myself down a peg or two.

One only needs to read a few pages to see how she is able to convey to the reader vast amounts of information in very few words. A single sentence can deliver imagery, setting, and characterization all before the period ends. (
