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

My first Flannery O‘Connor. Each short story packs a heavy wallop; seems like the pattern here is the consequences (often terrible) of a particular character clinging to their old set of values and beliefs despite a changing South. This stubbornness soon figuratively hobbles them (or just plain kills them). As with all good books, there is much more to be gleaned, but that will have to take a second reading.
