Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 525 votes Genres: Classics, American Literature Publisher's Summary: This now classic book revealed Flannery OConnor as one of the most original and provocative writers to emerge from the South. Her apocalyptic vision of life is expressed through grotesque, often comic situations in which the principal character faces a problem of salvation: the grandmother, in the title story, confronting the murderous Misfit; a neglected four-year-old boy looking for the Kingdom of Christ in the fast-flowing waters of the river; General Sash, about to meet the final enemy. Stories include: Critic Reviews: OConnors works, like Maupassants, 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. ( New York Times Book Review) Much savagery, compassion, farce, art, and truth have gone into these stories. OConnors characters are wholeheartedly horrible, and almost better than life. I find it hard to think of a funnier or more frightening writer. (Robert Lowell, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet) With a keen eye for the dark side of human nature, an amazing ear for dialogue, and a necessary sense of irony, Flannery OConnor exposes the underside of life in the rural south of the United States.
