The Complete Stories by Flannery O'Connor
5.0
Funny, Insightful, Ironically Eschatological
O’Connor creates simple, sardonic characters who give readers an insight into the 1950’s south but also the cynicism and bitterness of human nature. While depressing in some moments, the stories always have a paradoxical upshot where the rich are not redeemed but the meek enter into peace.
Recommend for anyone who enjoys more challenging short stories and not your run of the mill romance or mystery novels.
