The Complete Stories by Flannery O'Connor

4.0

When I started this I found it weird with their consistent use of the n-word and just stories I felt did not have endings. I guess I’m just not used to short stories. For me it took up to the 9th story - A stroke of good fortune - for me to really start enjoying this. From then on it was mostly smooth sailing.

I liked that in a way the last short story was like a continuation of the first story giving it the ending I was looking for.

Favourite stories (can’t choose one):
A stroke of good fortune
A good man is hard to find
The River
A view of the woods

Least favourite:
Why do the heathen rage? I just don’t see the point of this story
