High school exposed me to short stories. I didn't like what we read at the time, like most people. This volume--in addition to Flannery O'Connor's complete works--have helped me appreciate and enjoy the form, and I loved seeing what can be accomplished in such a compact form.

My favorite short stories were (in no particular order):
Two Nurses Smoking
Becoming the Baby Girl
The Living Sea
White Noise
To the Dogs
Delandria

While CNA is correct that "life's mysteries have no keys," these stories evoke life's questions and a strange "grave grace" that makes you wonder if they're onto something the rest of us are oblivious to...
