Everything That Rises Must Converge: Stories
by Flannery O'Connor
I love Flannery O'Connor, but I probably wouldn't have read this had I known it was released posthumously. I feel, personally, that it's kind of disrespectful to read something that we aren't certain if the author was satisfied with. Why weren't these published? Were they unfinished or did publishers just reject them? It feels nosy or greedy, like I'm reading their diary. There were only a couple of stories in here that felt like Flannery herself might've not wanted to share them (yet?), but of course they were wonderful anyway.
I still wish I hadn't read it though.
