An essential collection of classic stories that established Flannery O’Connor’s reputation as an American master of fiction—now with a new introduction by New York Times bestselling author Lauren Groff In 1955, with the title story and others in this critical edition, Flannery O’Connor firmly laid claim to her place as one of the most original and provocative writers of her generation. Steeped in a Southern Gothic tradition that would become synonymous with her name, these stories show O’Connor’s unique view of life—infused with religious symbolism, haunted by apocalyptic possibility, sustained by the tragic comedy of human behavior, confronted by the necessity of salvation. These classic stories—including “The Life You Save May Be Your Own,” “Good Country People,” and “The Displaced Person,” among others, are sure to inspire future generations of fans and remind existing readers why she remains a master of the short story.

This is my first time reading O’Connor and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed her stories despite very brutal imagery. I enjoyed the way she is both an insider (Southerner) and outsider (Catholic) and how that permeates her writing. My favorite story was Good Country People.

The narration is good however there are some annoying skips and weird moments where it appears that the narration changes like she stopped recording and picked back up in the middle of the passage.

I loved the foreword, it helped me analyze the stories better.

Great storytelling, brutal and philosophical

Grotesque, gruesome, simply fantastic. From her use of symbol and motif, to the literary devises she employs, she is simply fantastic. To be able to convey such depth and meaning in so few pages and words is astonishing. Truly a masterful writer.

Loved it.

Well read, well written, but hard to listen to with the language and attitude towards people of color. Wouldn’t read it again but she is a great writer.

Great read….but…

These short stories show the difference in generational gaps when it comes to morals, values, beliefs, and dating in the South. The grandma who regarded herself as devout Christian but is actually the opposite, a judgmental bigoted sinner. It all comes to the surface after meeting the "Misfit." O'Connor uses situational irony throughout the short story. The title of the story "A Good Man is Hard to Find"is when, in fact, the bad man is easy to find, but the grandmother is really the Misfit. She tries to persuade the Misfit with her Christian grace but isn't spared. Her reckless mouth finally catches up with her. She notices that all that claim they're Christian ain't good people, this right here is a word all in itself. People use their religion as an excuse, as a hiding space, or to justify their ignorance. In the end, all stories displayed how hard it is to find a good man no matter how good they man seem, act, look, or behave. #book9of2024 #bookworm #whatsnext

I can really relate to the reviews, and even the introduction to this book where there are concerns about the language used throughout a number of the stories in this collection. The fight to end racism has to be coupled to the fight against damaging stereotypes or language.

In this particular case, I think the reader has to try to separate out what Flannery O’Connor was, trying to say in her stories. As a collection, these stories deal with the American dream and the contrast with the American reality I don’t believe Ms. O’Connor is using language that she believes in or even using language to a certain effect, it is important to consider the time in which these stories were written, and also the cultural background against which they were written. I think a careful read (or listen) reveals the injustice, the prejudice and, yes, the racism that was present at the time and persists, in some forms, today.
These stories do not represent celebration of the problems, nor even ignorance of them. Instead, I think they are a reminder to all of us about the dangers of turning a blind eye to our reality, and cultivating a too- sanitized vision.
The performance of the stories is truly remarkable. The stories come alive through the performance of our reader, and perfectly embellish. What are already remarkable works of literary art

Not for everybody, but for those looking for a true time piece of American literature, this is, must reading .
