Everything That Rises Must Converge by Flannery O'Connor
4.0
This collection of short stories was published after O'Connor's death in 1965, and the language and themes in the stories focus primarily on racial tensions of the time as well as generation differences of perspective about the changing times. They are all played out in regular everyday situations - riding the bus, tending a farm, chatting with others in the doctor's office waiting room, etc.
Other than the tragic nature of most of the stories, it was a perfect choice for me to read as an audiobook. The descriptions of the characters and situations were terrific, and I probably would have rushed through them to find out the outcome if I had been reading rather than listening.
