Winner of the national book award for fiction

The publication of this extraordinary volume firmly established flannery o’connor’s monumental contribution to American fiction.there are thirty-one stories here in allincluding twelve that do not appear in the only two story collections o’connor put together in her short lifetime—everything that riss must converge and a good man is hard to find.

O’connor published her first story,"the geranium"in 1946 while she was working on her master’s degree at the university of lowa this book which is arranged chronologically shows that her last story ”judgement day”sent to her publisher shortly before her death is a brilliantly rewritten and transfigured version of the geranium .taken together these reveal an amazingly livelyimaginative and penetrating talent that has given us some of the most powerful and disturbing fiction written this century. also included is an introducation and memoir by o’connor’s long-time editor Robert giroux.

What we lost when she died is bitter what we have is astonishing:the stories burn brighter than everand strike deeper.
