Everything That Rises Must Converge: Stories by Flannery O'Connor, Robert Fitzgerald
3.0

I liked each individual story in this collection, but I'm not sure they work so well together. Thematically, they are too similar for my taste (the convergence of one generation with another). What were nice, rounded characters became flat due to their context and similarity to characters in adjacent stories.
