Each story contains racial slurs. When I started I thought it would not be so continuous throughout, but the fact is, Flannery was poisoned by the racism of her times. However, like so many before me, I was still completely captivated by her story-telling abilities, and imagery especially of her characters. Some of the stories in this collection completely shook me (namely The River, A Circle in the Fire, and Good Country People) and that's why it still gets a 2.5
