The Complete Stories by Flannery O'Connor

5.0

I've been hearing about O'Connor for years, mostly from literate Catholics. I finally decided to see what all the fuss was about. It's about an author with perfect pitch, and stories that don't let you go. She's been called Southern Gothic - I don't know what that means. These are stories about the people you drive passed on the way to the lake, and about the everyday strange lives they lead. I've got Wise Blood on hold at the library. Saw the movie and was astounded. After these stories I'm doubly looking forward to the book.
